title: [Graves-Basedow's disease: effect of treatment methods for hyperthyroidism on the course of ophthalmopathy].
abstract: Efficient and permanent restoration of euthyreosis is an important factor in the therapy of Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). The choice for a treatment method of thyreotoxicosis (thyreostatic drugs, radioiodine, strumectomy) may influence the natural course of the coexistent ophthalmopathy. Some forms of therapy seem to facilitate the withdrawal of the ophthalmic symptoms, while the others may worsen or even increase the risk of the reveal of GO. This paper includes the discussion of the influence of a chosen treatment of hyperthyreoidism on the course of GO.
