Graves’s disease; Basedow’s disease. These are one and the same disease, an enlargement of the thyroid gland, also called exophthalmic goiter that is visible as a swelling at the front of the throat and is often associated with iodine deficiency. It bears the name of Irish physician Robert Graves (1796–1853), who first discovered it in 1835, and German physician Karl von Basedow (1799–1854), who discovered it five years later in more detail, unaware that Graves had gotten there before him. |
