PURPOSE: To report a case of late recurrence of unilateral Graves orbitopathy on the contralateral side after 7 years. DESIGN: 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. CONCLUSION: At least in patients with unilateral Graves orbitopathy, late recurrence of the disease in the contralateral orbit may occur. |
