Six months later, with diminished swelling of the lids, marked increase in the asymmetry of the eye positions with a marked right hypertropia. Six months later, demonstration subsidence of the lid swelling, but with residual puffiness, fat prolapse, and skin redundancy. The vertical dissociation of the eyes has improved, but there was a persistent right hypertropia. Anatomy: Orbit. Diesease Diagnosis: Dysthyroid Orbitopathy; Thyroid Associated Opthalmopathy.
