Orbital decompression and motility disturbances in endocrine ophthalmopathy

Orbital decompression and motility disturbances in endocrine ophthalmopathy

C C Sterk et al. Doc Ophthalmol. .

Abstract

The changes in ocular motility in 15 patients with endocrine ophthalmopathy before and after orbital decompression according to Ogura-Walsh are discussed. The conclusion is that decompression of the orbita gives rise to a considerable risk of development or increase of limitations of ocular movements, with diplopia as a result.
