Abstract

The urgency of the problem of endocrine ophthalmopathy (EOP) is currently in no doubt. This is due to the fact that relatively recently methods of objective assessment of the state of the eyeball and orbital tissues using ultrasound (ultrasound), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have appeared. At the same time, the etiology and pathogenesis of EOP are not well understood, which undoubtedly affects the validity and effectiveness of various treatment methods.
