Research for exophthalmic level in Basedow patients by Hertel ruler

ABSTRACT

Exophthalmus is an important symptom of Basedow’s disease. CT Scan, MRI or more simply by Hertel ruler can measure the exophthalmic level. The exophthalmic level was studied in association with age of diagnosis, disease duration and gender. The exophthalmus symptom has major diagnostic value in Basedow-related ophthalmic problems. The incidence of exophthalmus in Basedow patients is 60.9%, the longer the duration of disease, and the higher the incidence of exophthalmus.
