Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) can cause vision loss and requires effective treatment. This study presents a combined surgical approach for orbital decompression and eyelid correction in severe TAO cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Endocrinology
  • Autoimmune Diseases

Context:

  • Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune condition affecting the eye socket.
  • Common symptoms include eyelid retraction, swelling, proptosis, and motility issues.
  • Severe TAO can lead to exposure keratopathy or optic nerve compression, threatening vision.

Purpose:

  • To describe a combined surgical technique for managing severe TAO.
  • To decompress the orbit and correct eyelid retraction in TAO patients.

Summary:

  • A combined external and endoscopic surgical approach resects orbital walls to relieve intraorbital pressure in TAO.
  • Transconjunctival approach releases muscles from the tarsus to correct upper eyelid retraction.
  • This method addresses severe proptosis and vision-threatening complications of TAO.

Impact:

  • Provides an effective and safe treatment option for severe TAO.
  • Improves patient outcomes by relieving intraorbital pressure and correcting eyelid deformities.
  • Offers a potential solution for preserving vision in advanced TAO cases.
