Dysthyroid Optic Neuropathy (DON) is a vision-threatening complication of Graves disease. Early recognition and treatment, including steroids, radiation, or surgery, are crucial for preserving vision.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Dysthyroid Optic Neuropathy (DON) is a rare but serious complication of Graves disease.
  • It can lead to significant and irreversible vision loss if not managed promptly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding and management strategies for Dysthyroid Optic Neuropathy.
  • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on DON treatment modalities.
  • Discussion of systemic steroids, orbital steroid injections, orbital radiation, and surgical decompression.

Main Results:

  • Systemic steroids are a primary treatment but carry risks of side effects.

  • Orbital radiation offers a more permanent solution and is widely accepted.
  • Surgical decompression remains a viable option, particularly for patients with significant proptosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • DON is treatable, emphasizing the need for early detection.
    • A multimodal approach combining medical and surgical interventions may be necessary.
    • Transethmoidal optic nerve decompression is an alternative surgical technique.
