One-year recurrence rate of Graves ophthalmopathy presenting as diplopia in the primary position after varied doses of intravenous methylprednisolone followed by oral prednisolone with dosing based on the magnetic resonance imaging findings

ConclusionThis study showed that in 20% of patients, GO recurred within 1 year of administration of varied doses of IVMP, with the dosing based on the MRI findings. Furthermore, assessment of inflammation by use of MRI after 6 g of IVMP has a potential role in predicting recurrence.
