| PubMedID- 19953250 | The eponym "graves' disease" is usually applied to the condition of immunogenic hyperthyroidism, in no small part due to the promotion and influence of the french physician armand trousseau who wrote in 1862, "du goitre exophthalmique, ou maladie de graves." however, the distinguished bath physician caleb hillier parry, a friend of both edward jenner and john hunter, first described the clinical picture of thyrotoxicosis associated with exophthalmos and cardiac dysfunction in a paper published posthumously in 1825, some 10 years before robert graves' initial report. |
