This study on thyroid-related eyelid malposition suggests a surgical strategy. Key findings emphasize addressing inferior rectus tethering and using scleral grafts for lower lid recession, while noting lateral tarsorrhaphy

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Thyroid-related orbitopathy frequently causes eyelid malposition, impacting patient quality of life.
  • Eyelid malpositions, including retraction and malposition, are common complications of thyroid eye disease.
  • Surgical correction is often necessary to restore eyelid function and aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a treatment strategy for eyelid malposition in patients with thyroid-related orbitopathy.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of specific surgical techniques for correcting upper and lower eyelid abnormalities.
  • To highlight critical surgical considerations based on a retrospective case series.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 58 patients with thyroid-related eyelid malposition undergoing surgical correction.

  • Evaluation of surgical outcomes focusing on upper lid retraction and lower lid malposition.
  • Assessment of specific surgical interventions including inferior rectus muscle release, scleral grafting, and lateral tarsorrhaphy.

    • Main Results:

    • Recognition and release of inferior rectus tethering are crucial for managing upper lid retraction.
    • Scleral grafts proved effective in addressing lower lid retractor recession.
    • Lateral tarsorrhaphy was found to be insufficient for correcting lid retraction but useful for cosmetic camouflage.

    Conclusions:

    • A tailored surgical approach is essential for managing complex thyroid-related eyelid malpositions.
    • Addressing specific components like inferior rectus tethering and lower lid retraction with appropriate techniques yields better outcomes.
    • Surgical technique selection should consider both functional correction and aesthetic camouflage.
