  • Title: Acute presentation of thyroid ophthalmopathy.
    Author: Sanders MD, Brown P.
    Journal: Trans Ophthalmol Soc U K (1962); 1986; 105 ( Pt 6)():720-2. PubMed ID: 3477900.
    Abstract:
    Three patients are described who presented with acute painful proptosis, ptosis and ophthalmoplegia. Orbital cellulitis was initially diagnosed in all cases, but there was no therapeutic response to antibiotics. A dramatic improvement occurred with steroids. All patients had, or developed abnormal thyroid tests and CT Scans showed thickened ocular muscles. This is an unusual presentation of thyroid ophthalmopathy.
