Combined endoscopic medial and inferior orbital decompression with transcutaneous lateral orbital decompression in Graves' orbitopathy.
PURPOSE: To determine the clinical efficacy and morbidity of combined endoscopic transnasal medial and inferior wall orbital decompression performed in conjunction with transcutaneous lateral orbital decompression. DESIGN: Retrospective noncomparative case series. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-four subjects (64 orbits) underwent combined orbital decompression procedures for treatment of Graves' orbitopathy. INTERVENTION: Transnasal endoscopic medial wall and floor with simultaneous transcutaneous lateral orbital decompression. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Ocular motility, visual acuity, and exophthalmometry. RESULTS: No new ocular motility disturbances occurred. There was a mean gain of 0.7 Snellen lines in acuity (range +9 to -10 lines). A mean proptosis reduction of 4.2 mm was observed (range 1-9 mm). CONCLUSIONS: Combined endoscopic transnasal medial and inferior orbital wall decompression done in conjunction with transcutaneous lateral orbital decompression carries a low risk of morbidity, including new onset motility disorders, and yields anatomic retropulsion of the globe that is comparable to other methods.
