Although ptosis can develop following long-standing GO, it is very rare for patients to present with ptosis early in the course of their disease. Such patients should be investigated for myasthenia gravis which is significantly more common in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease, as compared to the general population [16]. Similarly, divergent strabismus does occasionally occur with GO but so rarely that the diagnosis should be questioned and further investigations are required.
