Abstract:
The present study describes a case of subacute thyroiditis characterized by involvement of ocular motility that appeared many months before bioumoral findings of the disease. The authors believe that when the etiological diagnosis of an ophthalmoparesis, especially when isolated, is uncertain, one must carefully evaluate the function of the thyroid and levels of the specific antibodies, in order to start the appropriate treatment.
