Follow-up of extended pterional orbital decompression in severe Graves' ophthalmopathy

description Compressive optic neuropathy (CON) with visual loss is, apart from corneal exposure and disfigurating proptosis, the most serious clinical sign encountered in Graves' ophthalmopathy. However, numerous different approaches and operative techniques have been proposed for orbital decompression, with varying results and side effects. The purpose of the present study was to analyze peri-operative data and long-term results in patients with severe thyroid-related orbitopathy, treated by extended pterional orbital decompression, comparing its effectiveness to other procedures. An extended pterional orbital decompression was performed in 42 consecutive patients (59 orbits) with severe thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy after failure of medical and radiation therapy during an 11-year period. Pre- and postoperative examination included visual acuity, Hertel exophthalmometry, ocular motility, visual fields (Goldmann perimetry) and notification of complications. Long-term evaluation was carried out on average at 11 months postoperatively (range 5-26 months). Visual acuity improved rapidly from a preoperative average of 0.53 +/- 0.33 (range, 0-1) to 0.77 +/- 0.31 (range, 0-1) postoperatively (p
