Article Synopsis
- This study explores how Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is managed across 26 medical centers in France, focusing on the structure and availability of treatment services.
- Researchers contacted 28 centers to gather data through a questionnaire about multidisciplinary meetings, dedicated services, and treatment methods.
- The findings revealed that while a majority have dedicated services and utilize first-line treatments like intravenous corticosteroids, there’s significant variability in practices, highlighting the need for standardization and improving accessibility to new treatments like tocilizumab and teprotumumab.

Article Synopsis
- The relationship between the thyroid and the heart can be complex, especially in cases of hyperthyroidism from Graves' disease, which may lead to serious issues like acute myocarditis.
- A case study is presented involving a 41-year-old woman with uncontrolled Graves' disease who experienced severe symptoms, including palpitations and abnormal ECG findings.
- After thorough testing, including normal coronary angiography and cardiac MRI confirming myocarditis, the patient's condition improved following treatment, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing and managing such cases.

Graves-Basedow's disease (GBD) is an autoimmune pathology that affects the thyroid and is characterized by the presence of goiter, hyperthyroidism, ophthalmopathy, and dermopathy. Graves-Basedow ophthalmopathy (GBO) is a set of inflammatory and infiltrative alterations of the orbital tissue that affects 40-90% of subjects suffering from GBD. Our study aims to investigate the differences in the clinical outcomes of patients treated with two different techniques: the classic open and the more modern endoscopic.

Orbital radiotherapy for Graves' ophthalmopathy is an example of non-oncological radiotherapy. First introduced in the 1930s, this treatment has become widely used since the 1980s with several studies showing proof of both effectiveness and safety: a decrease of soft tissue involvement in 70 to 80% of patients and an improvement of ocular mobility in 30 to 80% of patients. Nowadays, it's one of the second line treatment options recognized by the European Group on Graves' orbitopathy in the management of a moderate to severe and active disease after failure of glucocorticoids.

Thyroid orbitopathy (TO) is the most common cause of orbital tissue inflammation, accounting for about 60% of all orbital inflammations. The inflammatory activity and severity of TO should be diagnosed based on personal experience and according to standard diagnostic criteria. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the orbit is used not only to identify swelling and to differentiate inflammatory active from non-active TO, but also to exclude other pathologies, such as orbital tumours or vascular lesions.
