Graves’ orbitopathy, is a rare and potentially sight-threatening ocular disease that sometimes occurs in patients with euthyroid or hypothyroid chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. We relate a case of a man with 53 years that have diabetes and hipertension and regular clinical exams with endocrinologist and oftalmologist. He developed a bilateral exoftalmia, larger at right eye, in 3 months of follow up, without another signs of thyrotoxicosis. After 2 years of follow up, the thyroid function was normal but the levels of thyrotropin (TSH) receptor (TSHR)-stimulating autoantibodies was insistently in very high levels. It was not observed clinical activity on eyes and more involvement of the muscles of eye motility. We discuss the possibility of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy and some new described causes as IgG4-related disease, neoplasias and others.
