Neonatal Graves' ophthalmopathy can mimic other conditions like optic nerve gliomas. This case highlights the importance of considering maternal thyroid disease in infant eye proptosis.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • A 7-month-old boy presented with unilateral proptosis, initially suspected to be optic nerve gliomas based on CT findings.
  • The infant's mother had clinical hyperthyroidism, prompting further investigation into potential endocrine causes for the child's condition.

Observation:

  • Clinical examination revealed pseudoproptosis due to left upper eyelid retraction, not true exophthalmos.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed normal orbital structures, ruling out optic nerve gliomas.

Findings:

  • The infant, despite being euthyroid, was diagnosed with neonatal Graves' ophthalmopathy.
  • The mother's hyperthyroidism was confirmed by abnormal thyroid function tests.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of a thorough maternal and infant medical history in diagnosing pediatric eye conditions.
  • Neonatal Graves' ophthalmopathy requires careful observation and management, distinct from surgical or oncological interventions for conditions like optic nerve gliomas.
