Abstract
The physiopathology of Graves' ophthalmopathy is poorly understood The refore, the best treatment of Graves' ophthalmopathy is still a matter of debate. Steroids, X-ray therapy, surgery and more recently cyclosp orine, plasma exchange and somatostatine analogs have been tried. Ther e is no doubt that we are dealing with art autoimmune process. The use of immunoglobulins has been shown to be safe and efficient.
