Purpose: Patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) can present with asymmetric disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of asymmetric TED in an Australian cohort and investigate clinical, biochemical, and radiological associations of asymmetric TED.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with TED who underwent Hertel exophthalmometry and orbital computed tomography (CT) scans.
Objective: To investigate extraocular muscle volumes in thyroid eye disease (TED) patients with and without dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Participants: TED patients who had computed tomography of the orbits.
Article Synopsis
- Prehabilitation aims to enhance patients' health before surgery to improve surgical outcomes, and a systematic review was conducted to assess its effectiveness within General Surgery based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
- The review included 36 RCTs, mostly from Europe and North America, showing mixed results; while many physical and psychological interventions demonstrated some benefits, the evidence was insufficient for standardized implementation across the discipline.
- Although prehabilitation interventions showed variability in effectiveness, the potential benefits suggest they should be considered individually rather than as a blanket protocol across all surgical cases.
Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is a sight-threatening complication of thyroid eye disease and can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated early. Imaging with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can aid in the diagnosis and early recognition of DON. A number of quantitative and qualitative imaging features have been associated with DON.
