  • Title: [Procedure for calculating the volume of the orbital fat to be removed at decompressive surgery in patients with endocrine ophthalmopathy].
    Author: Brovkina AF, Iatsenko OIu, Aubakirova AS.
    Journal: Vestn Oftalmol; 2009; 125(3):24-7. PubMed ID: 19566044.
    Abstract:
    The paper gives data of computed tomography in 100 patients (148 orbits) with edematous exophthalmos (lipogenic and mixed types). There is a relationship of the higher degree of exophthalmos to the increased orbital soft tissue contents. A procedure is described for the individual calculation of the amount of removed orbital fat during compressive operations, which considers both the individual features of the anatomic structure and existing exophthalmos.
