Abstract
A higher proportion of pediatric Graves disease patients underwent thyroidectomy than 131I therapy. Rapid turnover suggested more effective initial management with operation than 131I therapy. Although transient operative complications were high, 131I therapy complications included worsening of Graves orbitopathy among those with pre-existing orbitopathy.
