Based upon the ultrasonographic evidence of extraocular muscle abnormalities in all patients with orbitopathy and proven thyroid disease, we conclude that the basic abnormality of thyroid orbitopathy is a panmyositis and that all of the classes described by Werner are expressions of different degrees and manifestations of the same pathologic process. This thesis is supported by presentation of cases of varying severity who have in common extraocular muscle abnormalities. We believe that the process we describe acceptably explains all of the eye signs of this common orbitopathy.

基于所有眼眶病患者及确诊甲状腺疾病患者眼外肌异常的超声证据，我们得出结论：甲状腺眼眶病的基本异常是全肌炎，且维尔纳所描述的所有类型都是同一病理过程不同程度和表现形式。不同严重程度病例均存在眼外肌异常这一情况支持了该论点。我们认为我们所描述的过程能够合理地解释这种常见眼眶病的所有眼部体征。
