Bilateral failure of adduction following orbital decompression.
We report a case of bilateral complete failure of adduction following bilateral translid antralethmoidal orbital decompression. We believe the probable mechanism is neuropraxia (temporary dysfunction) of the third cranial nerves' supply to the medial recti, owing to these nerves' occupying an anatomically abnormal position. Partial recovery of adduction occurred over the ensuing six months.
متن کاملSurgical Advances in Orbital Decompression Orbital Fat Decompression - Endoscopic Medial Decompression Internal Orbital Contouring
Treatment of proptosis in the stable phase of Graves’ orbitopathy differs significantly from that in the acute inflammatory phase. The treatment paradigm employed at the Harkness Eye Institute, reserves surgical decompression in the acute phase for those cases of optic neuropathy that fail to respond to orbital radiotherapy or when radiotherapy is contraindicated. Owing to the 90% success rate ...
متن کاملReduction of Orbital Inflammation following Decompression for Thyroid-Related Orbitopathy
PURPOSE Thyroid-related orbitopathy (TRO) is associated with inflammation, expansion of orbital fat, enlargement of extraocular muscles, and optic neuropathy (ON). We examined the effects of orbital decompression on the inflammatory and congestive signs of TRO in patients who underwent emergent orbital decompression. METHODS This retrospective, consecutive study included patients with ON from...
متن کاملReversal of dysthyroid optic neuropathy following orbital fat decompression.
AIMS To document the successful treatment of five patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy by orbital fat decompression instead of orbital bone decompression after failed medical therapy. METHODS Eight orbits of five patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy were selected for orbital fat decompression as an alternative to bone removal decompression. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids an...
متن کاملVisual recovery following emergent orbital decompression in traumatic retrobulbar haemorrhage.
INTRODUCTION Acute retrobulbar haemorrhage is a potentially sight-threatening condition, and can follow retrobulbar anaesthesia or trauma to the orbit. Acute loss of vision can occur with retrobulbar haemorrhage and is reversible if the condition is recognised and treated early. CLINICAL PICTURE We report a case of acute retrobulbar haemorrhage following orbital trauma in a 78-year-old Chines...
