[Endocrine ophthalmopathy. Clinical symptoms, classification, diagnostic classification, indications for treatment (author's transl)].
The clinical aspects and classification of "endocrine ophthalmopathy" were described. The clinical picture is of importance for the physician in nuclear medicine who is involved with the diagnosis and therapy of hyperthyroidism. In vivo and in vitro investigations in nuclear medicine regarding the classification of ophthalmic findings are derived from disturbances in control of the regulatory systems of the hypothalmas-pituitary-thyroid which are parallel to the ophthalmic processes. The clinical forms of endocrine ophthalmopathy and the thyroid findings which accompany it were systematized and an appropriate therapeutic procedure for the respective anomaly was described.
