Description |
History: A 48-year-old man was referred with marked proptosis in both eyes measuring approximately 27 mm by Hertel exophthalmometer. He also had severe myopathy with a left eye displaced nasally and superiorly. As a result he had inability to abduct and depress the left eye. Anatomy: Orbit. Disease Diagnosis: Thyroid Associated Ophthalmopathy. Neuroimaging: Axial CT of the dramatic proptosis caused by Dysthyroid Orbitopathy. Coronal view showing the bilateral enlargement of the rectus muscles consistent with Dysthyroid Orbitopathy together with some increase in the orbital fat. Axial scan of the post-decompression bone removal from the lateral and medial orbits in both eyes. Coronal CT scan showing another view of the removal of portions of the medial and lateral orbit. Ocular Movements: Inability to abduct and depress the left eye. Presenting Symptom: Marked proptosis in both eyes, and severe myopathy with a left eye displaced nasally and superiorly. Treatment: Three wall orbital decompression. |
