Transconjunctival orbital decompression ("swinging eyelid technique") nowadays is the technique of choice for the reduction of proptosis in Graves' orbitopathy. Here, we present the first report of two patients who developed corneal dellen secondary to conjunctival chemosis following swinging eyelid decompression.
Two female patients, 38 and 52 years old, underwent transconjunctival orbital decompression in 2006. Postoperatively, they developped corneal dellen secondary to conjunctival chemosis. The dellen and the chemosis completely regressed after intensive topical and oral therapy.
Corneal dellen represent a potential cause of postoperative pain following transconjunctival orbital decompression.
经结膜眼眶减压术(“摆动眼睑技术”)目前是治疗格雷夫斯眼眶病眼球突出的首选技术。在此,我们首次报告两例患者在摆动眼睑减压术后因结膜水肿继发角膜小凹。
两名女性患者,年龄分别为38岁和52岁,于2006年接受了经结膜眼眶减压术。术后,她们因结膜水肿继发角膜小凹。经过强化局部和口服治疗后,小凹和水肿完全消退。
角膜小凹是经结膜眼眶减压术后疼痛的一个潜在原因。
