Background: Radioiodine treatment of hyperthyroidism in Graves’ disease patients may cause or aggravate the course of ophthalmopathy (GO). We evaluated the activity and severity of ophthalmopathy in patients who acquired GO following radioiodine therapy. Material and methods: Between 2003 and 2005, 763 Graves’ disease patients (50.9% of the total number of 1,500 patients referred to our Department) were treated with radioiodine 131-I. This treatment was only offered to patients with NOSPECS score < 3 and CAS < 3. Following their radioiodine treatment, in 39 patients (5.1% of all Graves’ disease patients), mean age 53.9 ± 11.6 years, onset of GO was observed within 12 months of post-treatment follow-up. Results: In 39 ...
