It is frequently misdiagnosed, due to both the heterogeneous clinical presentation and a failure to understand the relationship between TED and hyperthyroidism. Misdiagnosis can place patients at risk, as management is most effective during the initial active phase of the disease. However, differential diagnosis can be achieved with the assistance of imaging, and early treatment may limit disfigurement and reduce vision loss. Ophthalmologists should be knowledgeable about the conventional and new treatments available for the treatment of patients with TED and how to apply this information into practice. In this case-based program, expert faculty will discuss these treatment options, including teprotumumab, the first and only medical agent approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for TED treatment. This program will include the unique, audience-engaging, educational gaming platform, Wheel of Knowledge. Agenda5:30 PM Registration and Dinner 6:00 PM Introduction and Pretest Raymond S.
