Radiation thyroiditis is rare, but it may occur and exacerbate thyrotoxicosis. Long-term follow-up is mandatory for all patients. One concern with the use of radioiodine in persons with Graves disease is its controversial potential for exacerbating existing Graves ophthalmopathy. However, the presence of ophthalmopathy should not influence the choice of therapy for hyperthyroidism.
