Steffy Francis Lonth, Reshma K Pillai, Rajitha

Abstract: Graves' orbitopathy (Graves' eye disease or Graves' ophthalmopathy) is a constellation of signs and symptoms related to the orbit and surrounding tissues in patients with Graves? disease. It is an autoimmune process affecting retroocular tissues. It can also sporadically occur in euthyroid or hypothyroid patients due to chronic thyroiditis. In its severe form, it can be sight-threatening; thus, prompt evaluation and timely management are crucial. Here, we present a case of a 48-year-old male who presented with bilateral proptosis.
