متن کاملOrbital Volumetry in Graves' Orbitopathy: Muscle and Fat Involvement in relation to Dysthyroid Optic Neuropathy
Purpose. We wanted to investigate the relative significance of fat and muscle enlargement in the development of dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) in Graves' orbitopathy (GO). Methods. Preoperative coronal CT scans of 13 patients with and without DON who subsequently underwent orbital decompression were retrospectively analyzed. Thirteen patients imaged for unilateral orbital fractures served as...
متن کاملOrbital decompression for severe dysthyroid eye disease.

Attention is therefore directed to surgical methods and a short history given of the various routes used for orbital decompression. The author's own results of transantral, and more recently ethmoidal, decompression are given, with a detailed description...
متن کاملCourse of pattern-reversed visual evoked cortical potentials in 30 eyes after bony orbital decompression in dysthyroid optic neuropathy.
AIM To investigate optic nerve function using the pattern-reversed visual evoked cortical potentials (VECP) before and after bony orbital decompression in dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) due to Graves' disease. METHODS A total of 30 eyes of 15 patients (n=14 female) were observed over 30 ± 13 months after bony three-wall orbital decompression. We examined visual acuity (VA), VECP P100 ampli...
