Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder often associated with hyperthyroidism.
  • Minimal euthyroid Graves' disease (MEGD) presents without overt thyrotoxicosis.
  • Endocrine ophthalmopathy can manifest even in subclinical thyroid states.

Observation:

  • Six patients presented with diplopia and endocrine ophthalmopathy but lacked thyrotoxic symptoms.
  • Clinical examination revealed ophthalmoparesis and positive forced duction tests.
  • Diagnostic imaging included orbital ultrasonography and CT scans.

Findings:

  • MEGD is characterized by ocular symptoms despite normal thyroid function tests.
  • Imaging studies aid in differentiating MEGD from other orbital conditions.

  • Specialized tests like antibody studies and TRH stimulation may be necessary.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis of MEGD is crucial for managing ophthalmopathy.
    • Multimodality diagnostic approaches are essential for MEGD identification.
    • Understanding MEGD refines the diagnosis and management of Graves' disease spectrum.
