Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical criteria for the assessment of disease activity in Graves' ophthalmopathy: a novel approach.
Maarten P. Mourits,Leo Koornneef,Wilmar M. Wiersinga,Mark F. Prummel,A Berghout,R van der Gaag +5 more
TL;DR: A retrospective study testing the efficacy of this classification found that patients with an activity score of 3 or more at the beginning of therapy responded well to anti-inflammatory drugs, while those with a lower activity score mostly did not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prednisone and Cyclosporine in the Treatment of Severe Graves' Ophthalmopathy
Mark F. Prummel,Maarten Ph. Mourits,A Berghout,Eric P. Krenning,R van der Gaag,Leo Koornneef,Wilmar M. Wiersinga +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that single-drug therapy with prednisone is more effective than cyclosporine in patients with severe Graves' ophthalmopathy and the combination can be effective in patients who do not respond to either drug alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of abnormal thyroid function on the severity of Graves' ophthalmopathy.
Mark F. Prummel,Wilmar M. Wiersinga,Maarten Ph. Mourits,Leo Koornneef,A Berghout,R van der Gaag +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that meticulous control of thyroid function also during antithyroid treatment is important in the management of Graves' ophthalmopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal relationship between onset of graves'ophthalmopathy and onset of thyroidal graves' disease
TL;DR: Graves’ ophthalmopathy as a rule develops at a time when thyroid autoimmunity also exists, which strongly suggests a common factor in the pathogenesis of thyroidal and ocular expressions of Graves’ disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical presentation of Graves' ophthalmopathy.
TL;DR: The various data suggest: (1) the 1977 NOSPECS classification under-represents significant proptosis in 12% of cases; (2) the age and sex distribution of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy is similar to that of cases with thyroidal Graves' disease, and (3) unilateral Graves' mopathy may represent an early stage of the disease, that as a rule already is or develops shortly afterwards into a bilateral disease.
