title: Late recurrence of unilateral graves orbitopathy on the contralateral side.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of late recurrence of unilateral Graves orbitopathy on the contralateral side after 7 years.
  
  
  METHODS
  Interventional case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 44-year-old woman with left unilateral Graves orbitopathy underwent two-wall orbital decompression on the left side. After strabismus surgery and left upper eyelid surgery, she was discharged.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Seven years after discharge, the patient developed Graves orbitopathy on the right side, and she underwent two-wall orbital decompression on the right side.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  At least in patients with unilateral Graves orbitopathy, late recurrence of the disease in the contralateral orbit may occur.
