[Division of the pituitary stalk (mischotomy) for malignant exophthalmos after treatment of Basedow's disease with I 131].

The authors report a case of malignant exophthalmia occuring after treatment of Grave's disease with I 131. The exophthalmia was resistant to corticosteroids, thyroxin in large doses, reserpine, and the patient was treated by mischotomy (division of the pituitary stalk with interposition of polyethylene strips). There was progressive marked regression of the exophthalmia with return to work and normal social life.
