  • Title: Orbital decompression for optic neuropathy secondary to thyroid eye disease.
    Author: Schaefer SD, Merritt JH, Close LG.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1988 Jul; 98(7):712-6. PubMed ID: 3386374.
    Abstract:
    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.
