    Graves

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Graves' disease can cause vision loss via optic neuropathy.
    • Optic nerve compression at the orbital apex is the suspected mechanism.
    • Steroid therapy offers temporary relief, often requiring high doses for recurrence prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a transorbital surgical decompression approach for Graves' optic neuropathy.
    • To assess visual improvement in patients unresponsive to steroid therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • A transorbital surgical approach was used for orbital floor and medial wall decompression.
    • The study included 12 eyes with visual loss unresponsive to steroids.
    • Follow-up ranged from six to 18 months.

    Main Results:

    • The transorbital decompression approach led to gratifying visual improvement in most cases.
    • Strabismus was the most frequent complication.
    • Results were comparable to other surgical decompression methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Transorbital surgical decompression is an effective treatment for Graves' optic neuropathy unresponsive to steroids.
    • This approach offers significant visual and cosmetic benefits.
    • The technique is suitable for experienced orbital surgeons.
