    The clinical features and treatment for this condition also known as thyroid eye disease (TED) or graves' opthalmopathy (GO). From the Thyroid Foundation of Canada.  
    http://www.thyroid.ca/Guides/HG07.html
    
    Extractions: Graves' eye disease is an eye condition which occurs in about 50% of patients who currently have, or have had, Graves' hyperthyroidism. However, approximately 10% of patients who have this eye disorder never develop hyperthyroidism. The reasons for the association of hyperthyroidism with the eye disease are not completely understood. Graves' eye disease, like Graves' hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disorder. It is caused by the reaction of antibodies and certain white blood cells called lymphocytes, with proteins in eye muscle and the connective tissue and fat around the eyeball. This condition must be distinguished from the mild eye signs of "poppy" eyes and spasm of the eye lids which occur in most hyperthyroid patients due to an effect of excessive thyroid hormones. Top The characteristic features of Graves' eye disease are symptoms of inflammation of the eye tissues. The eyes are painful, red and watery - particularly in sunshine or wind. The covering of the eye is inflamed and swollen.

    Describes Thyroid Related Orbitopathy (TRO) which has been known to occur as much as 30 years after graves' disease has been treated. Causes, incidence and the role of the eye specialist.  
    http://www.facialworks.com/thyroid/index.html
    
    Extractions: The eye changes associated with thyroid disease are referred to as Thyroid Related Orbitopathy (TRO). Although TRO is seen in all types of thyroid disorders, it is most common in patients that are or were hyperthyroid. TRO occurs in about 1 out of 20 people that are hyperthyroid. It can also rarely occur in those who are hypothyroid and even when there is an absence of thyroid abnormalities in the body. Eye problems will usually occur and frequently change in type or severity for between 6 months and 2 years. Once stabilized, it is unusual for the eyes to start changing again. In some patients the eyes return to normal. Others are left with some type of permanent changes. A great deal can be done to improve these problems, but this may require surgery.

67. Graves' Opthalmopathy - VisionChannel
    VisionChannel presents an article about the treatment of thyroid eye disease which occurs independently from graves' disease.  
    http://www.visionchannel.net/graves/
    
    Extractions: Overview Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) is a condition that primarily affects the extraocular muscles, the muscles that rotate the eyeball up, down, and to the sides. It is closely associated with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes the thyroid to produce excess thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism). Graves’ ophthalmopathy is also known as thyroid eye disease or thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. In GO, an unknown antigen (substance that triggers an immune response) activates lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), which infiltrate extraocular muscle tissue and other orbital tissues, producing inflammation and causing the tissues to swell. The swollen eye muscles force the eyeball to bulge out of the bony orbit (i.e., eye socket). GO and Graves’ disease are two separate conditions that run independent courses. GO may occur long before, at the same time as, or long after thyroid disease is diagnosed and treated. Although most patients with Graves’ disease have Graves’ ophthalmopathy, about 10% of patients with GO have normal thyroid function.

NCCLS (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards) Graves' Disease affects approximately three out of 1,000 people, and is more prevalent in women and in families with a history of the disorder. Discovered in 1835 by Robert Graves, affected patients are hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid hormone production). Graves' Disease is an autoimmune disorder in which an as yet unknown immunological defect results in production of autoantibodies to the TSH receptor (TRAb) located on the surface of thyroid cells. These antibodies bind the TSH receptor and stimulate it to overproduce thyroid hormones, resulting in the hyperthyroid state. This activation by TRAbs are not subject to the normal negative feedback loop. Symptoms of Graves' disease include nervousness, irritability, unexplained weight loss, increased appetite, heat intolerance, excessive sweating, rapid pulse, thyroid enlargement, diarrhea, fine tremors in fingers and warm moist skin. About 50 percent of patients also develop ophthalmopathy, characterized by bulging eyes, often with red swollen lids. To a lesser degree, Graves' Disease patients may exhibit slightly bulging eyes and a staring appearance.

It occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid gland and causes it to overproduce the hormone called thyroxine. This abnormal immune response can also affect the tissue behind your eyes as well as your skin, usually on your lower legs and feet. When you have too much thyroid hormone in your system, your body's metabolism rate can increase by 60 percent to 100 percent because thyroxine regulates your cells' metabolism. A higher metabolism can lead to a number of health problems, such as an irregular heartbeat or anxiety.

    http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/hyperthyroidism-faq.htm
    
    Extractions: Hyperthyroidism is an overfunctioning of the thyroid gland. This overfunctioning results in the production of too much thyroid hormone. Because the thyroid hormone controls many bodily functions, this increase in the thyroid hormone level causes these bodily functions, such as heartrate, or in some cases blood pressure, to increase, sometimes to very dangerous levels. Is it contagious?

74. Observer | Balancing Act
    A look at graves' disease, from a husband's perspective. Observer article by Peter Silverton.  
    http://observer.guardian.co.uk/print/0,3858,4154033-102278,00.html
    
    Extractions: Observer I remember the time when my wife could and would eat four square meals a day, and frequent snacks between, without gaining an ounce. 'Not true,' she said when I reminded her of this. 'It was three breakfasts, two lunches, three teas, two dinners and endless snacks and chocolate.' She didn't feel the cold either. She'd walk around dressed like a Geordie clubber - T-shirt on a snowy day. That's Graves' disease for you. There was also a time when she slept 10 hours a night and ate nothing but the occasional banana, yet still put on weight. Graves' again. Whether gorging or starving, her muscles got progressively softer - despite long hours of practice for her work as a teacher of dance. Graves', too. And there was a day she was banned from buses, followed by three weeks when she wasn't allowed within shouting distance of our young son. That was the treatment for Graves' - a shot of radioactive iodine (I-131). It doesn't exactly light you up like Chernobyl but it is potent enough to be a possible danger to strangers for 24 hours and to the developing body of a six-year-old for 21 days. So, long mother-son cuddles were out for three weeks - hard to explain to a small boy who'd just started school and often needed to come home to his mother's arms at the end of a testing day. So she went away, first to her mother's, then to a dance course. 'Apparently, that was the worst thing I could have done. I should have done something very peaceful which would have helped calm the thyroid.' So not to your mother's, then? 'Exactly,' she laughed.

    Euthyroid graves’ disease is a condition where the characteristic Most patients with ocular graves’ disease manifest systemic hyperthyroidism.  
    http://www.revoptom.com/handbook/SECT62a.HTM
    
    Extractions: The histopathologic features of the malady include an infiltration of the thyroid gland, skin, extraocular muscles and orbital fat by lymphocytes, macrophages, plasma cells, mast cells and mucopolysaccharides. These changes are characteristic of, but not limited to, an immunologically mediated mechanism. Management presence of known hyperthyroidism. If symptoms are present and a systemic etiology has not been investigated, consultation with an endocrinologist and laboratory testing for thyroid hormones T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (tetra-iodothyronine) and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) are indicated. Neuroimaging of the orbits in patients with exophthalmos and positive forced duction testing allows clinicians to distinguish extraocular muscle infiltration from inflammatory or infectious myositis. Since the primary concern proptosis and lid retraction presents is corneal exposure, ocular management is predominantly supportive. Typically, moistening the cornea with artificial tear drops and ointments is effective. Moisture shields that can be attached to the temples of spectacles help to preserve tears and retard tear evaporation. Punctal occlusion may be effective. Cases that involve moderate to severe keratopathy may require prophylactic topical antibiotics. Visual fields should be performed on patients with advanced stage disease, monitoring for the first sign of sight or field loss. Evaluation is usually every three to six months and is based upon severity.

Graves' disease is a disorder of the immune system which causes the thyroid gland to become overactive. It is an autoimmune disorder, which means the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells instead of protecting them from outside invaders. In Graves' disease, the body's immune system makes abnormal chemicals called immunoglobulins that stimulate the thyroid gland to make too much thyroid hormone. This overactive thyroid state is called hyperthyroidism.

    Extractions: Other Causes of Hyperthyroidism Graves' disease is named after the Irish physician who described several cases in the London Medical Journal in 1835. It was actually first described by Parry a few years earlier. In Europe the disease is known as Basedow's disease. In all countries it is also known as "thyrotoxicosis". Graves' disease, by far the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in Canada, affects perhaps one in every 100 people. It appears to be becoming even more common. The disease is an inherited disorder, although not every member of the afflicted families will suffer this condition. It is more common in females than in males. Top Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder. It is caused by an abnormal protein, called thyroid stimulating antibody. This antibody stimulates the thyroid gland to produce large amounts of thyroid hormone in an uncontrolled manner. In normal people, the production of thyroid stimulating antibody (and other abnormal antibodies) is prevented by a surveillance system. This system consists of certain blood cells called suppressor and helper lymphocytes and Killer (K) cells, as well as other constituents. The suppressor lymphocytes suppress unwanted lymphocytes. Measurement of the thyroid stimulating antibody present in the blood of most patients with Graves' disease is not usually necessary, in order to establish the diagnosis.
