ABSTRACT
A 53-year-old man consulted an ophthalmologist with a chief complaint of diplopia and bilateral eyelid swelling. He was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 years prior at a local clinic and had been taking levothyroxine 150 mcg daily. CT scan of the orbits showed enlargement of bilateral extraocular muscles. Laboratory findings revealed hyperthyroidism due to high dose levothyroxine. Active ophthalmopathy with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism was diagnosed and the patient was treated with steroid pulse therapy. We reported a rare case of severe ophthalmopathy with Hashimoto's thyroiditis that needed steroid pulse therapy.
