Abstract:
Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is a sight-threatening complication of thyroid eye disease and can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated early. Imaging with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can aid in the diagnosis and early recognition of DON. A number of quantitative and qualitative imaging features have been associated with DON. This article summarises the definition, prevalence, and utility of these radiological findings in the diagnosis of DON.
