The effect of rim-off deep lateral orbital decompression on the lateral rectus shape and oculomotor balance.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to measure the effect of rim-off deep lateral decompression for Graves orbitopathy on the lateral rectus muscle path and oculomotor balance.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of the medical records and pre- and postoperative computed tomography scans of 34 orbits of 23 patients who underwent deep lateral decompression alone. The oculomotor balance of these 23 patients was measured with the alternate cover test and prisms before and after surgery.

Deep lateral orbital decompression for Graves orbitopathy: a systematic review.

Purpose: To systematically review the literature on the deep lateral orbital decompression (DLD).

Methods: The authors searched the MEDLINE, Lilac, Scopus, and EMBASE databases for all articles in English, Spanish, and French that used as keywords the terms orbital decompression and lateral wall. Two articles in German were also included.

Intraconal gauze mass: An unusual complication of orbital fracture repair - a case report.

Gossypiboma and textiloma are terms used to describe tumor-like masses caused by retained gauze or surgical sponges after any operation. It is a rare surgical complication, usually difficult to diagnose due to its variable clinical presentation and nonstandard radiological appearance. We describe here a rare case of orbital gossypiboma in a child after surgical correction of an orbital blowout fracture.
