Endoscopic intranasal orbital decompression in the course of Graves’ orbitopathy
The authors present the endoscopic intranasal orbital decompression, one of the surgical techniques used for orbital decompression. It can be applied for various indications. The most common indications are: maxillo-facial trauma, orbital haemorrhage, subperiorbital abscess as the complication of sinusitis, optic neuropathy, thyroidassociated orbitopathy (Graves’ orbitopathy). The authors concl...

متن کاملReasons for revision surgery after orbital decompression for Graves’ orbitopathy
OBJECTIVES An analysis of complications and causes of failure in orbital decompression necessitating a second operation. METHODS Between December 1992 and April 2007, 375 patients (719 orbits) were operated on using various techniques. Fourteen patients were initially operated on in our unit: 8 (group A1) were re-operated on after a short time due to complications connected with the decompres...
متن کاملEndoscopic orbital decompression for Graves' ophthalmopathy.
Graves' disease may occasionally result in significant proptosis that is either cosmetically unacceptable or causes visual loss. This has traditionally been managed surgically by external decompression of the orbital bony skeleton. Trans-nasal endoscopic orbital decompression is emerging as a new minimally-invasive technique, that avoids the need for cutaneous or gingival incisions. Decompressi...
متن کاملEndoscopic Orbital Decompression for Graves' Ophthalmopathy*
Background: In patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy, orbital decompression surgery is indicated for compressive optic neuropathy, severe corneal exposure, or for cosmetic deformity due to proptosis. Traditionally this has been performed through a transantral approach, but the associated complication rate is high. More recently, endoscopic orbital decompression has been performed successfully wi...
