Observation:

  • This review details the diverse symptoms and clinical signs associated with thyroid eye disease.
  • Diagnostic procedures and differential diagnoses are emphasized to ensure accurate patient assessment.

Findings:

  • Medical and surgical treatment options for thyroid eye disease are comprehensively reviewed.
