Surgical treatment of Graves orbitopathy: a modified balanced technique.

Surgery has a definite place in the treatment of the exophthalmos in Graves orbitopathy. Thirty-two patients with Graves orbitopathy were operated on. Twenty patients received a three-wall orbital decompression.

Intraorbital bamboo foreign body in a chronic stage: case report.

A case of intra-orbital bamboo foreign body in a chronic stage is presented. This case seems to confirm the importance of radiological examination, including three-dimensional computed tomography to choose the optimal surgical approach to remove the foreign body.

Surgical treatment of proptosis bulbi by three-wall orbital decompression.

Purpose: Three-wall orbital decompression was tested using a coronal approach as a technique.

Patients And Methods: Three-wall orbital decompression by a coronal approach was performed in three patients with proptosis due to Grave's ophthalmopathy, in six patients with Grave's ophthalmopathy because their vision was threatened due to optic nerve compression, and in one patient with exorbitism due to Crouzon's syndrome for cosmetic rehabilitation.

Results: Proptosis reduction averaged 4.

Results of radiotherapy in patients with stage I orbital non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

This paper describes the results of radiotherapy in early stage orbital non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. From 1970 to 1985, 33 orbital localizations in 30 patients were treated. The total dose applied ranged from 21 to 57 Gy (2 Gy per fraction), two-thirds of all patients received a dose of 40 Gy.

Grease-gun injury of the orbit: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis and treatment.

A 19-year-old male was referred because of a grease-gun injury of the left orbit, resulting in a 25 mm proptosis and marked decrease in vision. The clinical diagnosis of penetration of the retrobulbar fat space by the grease and the subsequent accurate drainage of the grease was made possible on the basis of high resolution computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). As a result, lateral orbitotomy could be avoided.
