Thyroid eye disease, a common cause of proptosis in adults, presents with various clinical features. Its exact pathophysiologic mechanisms remain unknown despite evidence of immune involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Thyroid eye disease (TED) is the leading cause of adult proptosis.
  • It predominantly affects women aged 30-50.
  • Key clinical signs include eyelid retraction, edema, proptosis, and potential optic nerve compromise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the clinical presentation and diagnostic features of thyroid eye disease.
  • To differentiate TED from idiopathic orbital myositis.
  • To highlight the current understanding of TED's pathophysiology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical features associated with TED.
  • Comparison of TED with idiopathic orbital myositis.
  • Discussion of imaging findings (echography, CT) in TED.

Main Results:

  • TED manifests with eyelid retraction, edema, proptosis, and muscle restriction.
  • Imaging reveals enlarged extraocular muscles with tendon sparing.
  • TED is distinguished from idiopathic orbital myositis by onset, pain, and response to steroids.

Conclusions:

  • Thyroid eye disease presents with a characteristic set of clinical and imaging findings.
  • Distinguishing TED from other orbital inflammatory conditions is crucial for management.
  • The underlying immune-mediated pathophysiologic mechanisms of TED require further elucidation.
