[Euthyroid Graves' disease: a case report].
Euthyroid Graves' disease is defined as an ophtalmopathy without any clinical or biological signs of thyroid dysfunction. It highlights the apparent dissociation between orbitopathy and thyroid disease. Diagnosis is often too late while early treatment could really improve functional prognosis. We report a 57-year-old woman who presented with this entity and that illustrates both the diagnostic difficulty and disease course after intravenous corticosteroid therapy.
