Abstract

|
|
|
Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid gland and the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Classic clinical findings include ophthalmopathy (exophthalmos), dermopathy (pretibial myxedema) and thyroid acropachy. The triad of Graves’ clinical findings occurs in less than 1% of Graves’ patients. We present a case of Graves’ disease with the clinical triad of exophthalmos, pretibial myxedema, and thyroid acropachy.
