Retrobulbar pressures measured during surgical decompression of the orbit.
AIMS/BACKGROUND In Graves' ophthalmopathy the increase in volume of intraocular muscles and fat will cause elevated intraorbital pressure. In order to investigate the pressure levels involved, intraorbital pressure, or retrobulbar pressure (RBP) was measured continuously in orbits of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy during surgical decompression. METHODS Retrobulbar pressure was measured ...
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...

PURPOSE To study the effects of ethmoidal wall (one-wall) decompression using a transmedial-canthal approach (transmedial-canthal ethmoidectomy) for the treatment of dysthyroid optic neuropathy. METHODS The ethmoidal wall and air cells were completely removed using a transmedial-canthal approach in 6 eyes of 4 patients (mean age = 55 years; age range, 46-69 years) with dysthyroid optic neurop...
