Bilateral dysthyroid compressive optic neuropathy responsive to teprotumumab.

Thyroid eye disease is an auto-immune mediated orbitopathy which can cause dysthyroid compressive optic neuropathy. Traditional management of active thyroid eye disease includes temporizing high-dose steroids, orbital radiation and surgical decompression, which each possess significant limitations and/or side effects. Teprotumumab is an IGF-IR inhibitor recently FDA-approved for active thyroid eye disease. The authors report reversal of bilateral dysthyroid compressive optic neuropathy managed medically utilizing teprotumumab.
