Long-term multidisciplinary follow-up of unilateral thyroid-associated orbitopathy.

CONCLUSIONS: Unilateral TAO is not different and just as severe as bilateral TAO. At initial work-up MRI shows signs of bi-laterality in 45% (4/9), with mild involvement of 1 or 2 extra-ocular muscles. The radiological status of affected muscles does not normalize, even in the very long term.
