Abstract
As the use of teprotumumab for thyroid eye disease (TED) becomes more prolific, there remains a scarcity of literature regarding the associated side effects and adverse events of teprotumumab use. The authors present a single-center retrospective, observational case review of TED patients who received at least a single dose of teprotumumab infusion at the oculofacial plastic surgery service between February 2020 and July 2023. The most predominant recollected side effects were fatigue, brittle nails, dry eye symptoms, hair loss, muscle spasms, and dry mouth. Significant adverse events were limited to two cases of a blood clot and a single case of pulmonary embolism. This is the first retrospective study of patient-reported side effects and adverse events experienced by a cohort of teprotumumab users.
