title: Orbital Graves' disease. A modification of the "NO SPECS" classification.
abstract: This paper reviews the original American Thyroid Association (ATA) classification of the orbital changes in Graves' disease, analyzes the subsequent modification of the classification made by the ATA in 1977, and, finally, suggests a second modification. This consists of the addition of six specific soft-tissue signs to Class II of the original classification.
