To improve our management of optic neuropathy from thyroid eye disease, we have refined the external ethmoidectomy approach, which permits the removal of the medial orbital wall and adjacent floor. We now report our experience with six patients (11 eyes) selected for this surgical technique. These patients are part of a larger population of patients with thyroid eye disease who have been surgically managed by us over the last 6 years.
为改善我们对甲状腺眼病性视神经病变的管理,我们改进了筛窦外入路手术,该入路允许切除眶内侧壁及相邻的眶底。我们现报告采用此手术技术的6例患者(11只眼)的经验。这些患者是过去6年中由我们进行手术治疗的大量甲状腺眼病患者中的一部分。
