Preserving the anterior periorbita during transantral orbital decompression for dysthyroid orbitopathy significantly reduces the risk of new-onset diplopia. This technique effectively manages proptosis while minimizing visual complications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Dysthyroid orbitopathy causes proptosis and potential vision impairment.
  • Transantral orbital decompression is a common surgical approach.
  • Postoperative diplopia is a significant concern following this procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of preserving the anterior periorbita during transantral orbital decompression.
  • To determine if this modification reduces the incidence of postoperative diplopia.
  • To assess the impact on proptosis reduction.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 15 patients undergoing 30 transantral orbital decompressions.
  • Standard decompression with inferomedial bony strut removal.

  • Selective preservation of the anterior 10-15 mm of periorbita.

    • Main Results:

    • Six patients with preoperative diplopia experienced persistent symptoms.
    • None of the nine patients without preoperative diplopia developed new-onset diplopia.
    • Mean proptosis reduction was 3.5 mm +/- 2.6 mm.

    Conclusions:

    • Preservation of the anterior periorbita is a safe modification to transantral orbital decompression.
    • This technique effectively reduces the risk of postoperative diplopia.
    • Adequate proptosis reduction is maintained with this approach.
