Abstract:
Thyroid ophthalmolopathy causes bilateral proptosis, restricted ocular movements and optic neuropathy due to inflammatory cell infiltration into the soft tissue. We report a case of central retinal artery occlusion after thyroid ophthalmopathy by swelling of retrobulbar soft tussue and compression of optic nerve and brief review of related literature was presented.
