  • Title: [Diagnosis of optic neuropathy in endocrine orbitopathy].
    Author: Heinemann B, Bischoff P, Jörgensen J, Weder B.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1991 May; 198(5):460-1. PubMed ID: 1886385.
    Abstract:
    By presenting the case of a patient with Graves-disease, different methods that permit detection of optic nerve compression are discussed. Beside reduced visual acuity and pathological visual fields, measurement of episcleral venous pressure, pathological visually-evoked potentials (VEP) and enlarged extraocular muscels (detected by CT and MRI) give good additional evidence of optic nerve compression in Graves-disease.
