Surgical orbital decompression effectively treats endocrine orbitopathy, reducing proptosis and improving vision. This safe and efficient method benefits patients with severe thyroid eye disease.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Treatment

Context:

  • Endocrine orbitopathy, a complication of autoimmune thyroid disease, causes proptosis and optic nerve compression.
  • Increased orbital pressure leads to vision loss and cosmetic concerns.
  • Surgical decompression is a therapeutic option for crowded orbits.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical decompression for endocrine orbitopathy.
  • To assess outcomes including proptosis reduction, visual acuity, and diplopia.
  • To analyze the combined transnasal-endoscopic/transpalpebral approach.

Summary:

  • 142 patients underwent medial orbital wall decompression and lipectomy for cosmetic reasons, dysthyroid optic neuropathy, or corneal ulceration.
  • Significant reductions in NOSPECS severity score, proptosis, and intraocular pressure were observed post-surgery.

  • Postoperative diplopia improved in most patients, with squint surgery correcting persistent issues.

    • Impact:

    • The transnasal-endoscopic/transpalpebral approach is a safe and effective treatment for severe endocrine orbitopathy.
    • Improved patient outcomes in terms of vision and appearance.
    • Provides a valuable surgical option for managing this complex condition.
