Orbital Fibroblast Heterogeneity May Determine the Clinical Presentation of Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy
2002-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, a process in which the orbital tissues become inflamed and are remodeled, occurs with a variable presentation. In some patients, eye muscle enlargement predominates. In others, the connective/adipose tissue enlargement appears the more significant problem.
