title: Isolated lateral rectus muscle involvement as a presenting sign of euthyroid Graves disease.
abstract: A 27-year-old man who presented with diplopia and proptosis and was diagnosed with euthyroid Graves disease and restrictive strabismus. It was determined that his symptoms were caused by isolated lateral rectus muscle involvement. Diplopia resolved and ocular motility improved substantially following 6 weeks of oral corticosteroid therapy.
