CAMPOS-PAVON, J.; MENCIA-GUTIERREZ, E. e GUTIERREZ-DIAZ, E.. Malignant exophtalmos in hyperthyroidism with a hypothyroid crisis. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.12, pp.721-724. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We present the case of a 56-year-old male with a malignant exophthalmos in the context of Graves disease. He suffered a significant worsening coincident with a hypothyroid crisis, and various therapeutic approaches were required for reduction of the proptosis. Discussion: When managing this condition, both the severity of the exophthalmos and the activity of the thyroid must be considered when choosing which of the different therapeutic approaches should be employed.
