Optical Coherence Tomography Thickness Measurements of the Extraocular Rectus Muscle Tendons in Graves' Ophthalmopathy.

Purpose: To examine extraocular rectus muscle tendons in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted with 55 healthy controls, 45 patients with clinically inactive Graves' ophthalmopathy, and 12 patients with clinically active Graves' ophthalmopathy. Scanning was performed at the 3- and 9-o'clock positions.

Response to tocilizumab treatment in Graves' ophthalmopathy by measuring rectus muscle thickness and chemosis using optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To assess the extraocular muscle thickness and chemosis after treatment with tocilizumab in patients with active Graves' ophthalmopathy by optical coherence tomography.

Methods: Case series of five patients with active Graves' ophthalmopathy (clinical activity score ≥4/10) treated with 4 doses of tocilizumab. These patients had been previously treated with corticosteroids with no response.
