AI Article Synopsis

  • Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune condition characterized by a range of symptoms, often diagnosed through patient history and physical exams.
  • The review aims to help eye-care practitioners classify the severity of the disease into categories: mild, moderate-to-severe, and sight-threatening, while also linking suitable treatments.
  • Eye-care practitioners are essential in a multidisciplinary team, focusing on both functional vision assessment and overall ocular health management.

Article Abstract

Thyroid eye disease is a multifactorial autoimmune disease with a spectrum of signs and symptoms. Oftentimes, the diagnosis of thyroid eye disease is straightforward, based upon history and physical examination. The purpose of this review is to assist the eye-care practitioner in staging the severity of thyroid eye disease (mild, moderate-to-severe and sight-threatening) and correlating available treatment modalities. Eye-care practitioners play an important role in the multidisciplinary team by assessing functional vision while also managing ocular health.

Treatment of Hyperthyroidism in Graves' Disease Complicated by Thyroid Eye Disease.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and Department of Internal Medicine, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, MI 48105  USA.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is the most consequential extrathyroidal manifestation or complication of Graves' disease (GD). Treatment of hyperthyroidism in GD complicated by TED is challenging. Antithyroid drugs (ATDs) and thyroidectomy do not change the natural course of TED, while radioactive iodine (RAI) is associated with a small but well-documented risk of TED de novo occurrence or its progression/worsening.

Background: To characterize the retreatment course of patients with thyroid eye disease (TED), who had reactivation after initial therapy with teprotumumab.

Methods: This was a single-center longitudinal cohort study of patients who received an initial course of teprotumumab for active TED and were followed for at least 6 months. Reactivation was defined as the increase of proptosis of 2 mm or more or an increase in Clinical Activity Score (CAS) of two points or more, as adapted from the Optic-X study.
