The surgical armamentarium for orbital decompression in Graves'orbitopathy (GO) includes techniques for orbital wall resection using local incisions, but also techniques for orbital rim advancement or resection of the greater sphenoid wing, which require a coronal or even transcranial approach. Up to now the choice of technique rather depends on the surgeon;s preference than on objective criteria. The goal of our CT-based research project is to define morphological orbital parameters which potentially could influence the result of a given technique for orbital decompression in thyroid eye disease. Based on the results individualized, anatomy-based surgical concepts could be established.

Background And Importance: Superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is a rare, acquired aberration of the innervation of the superior oblique, resulting in episodic monocular contraction of the superior oblique muscle characterized by intermittent rotatory eye movement causing diplopia and oscillopsia. Several treatment modalities have been described to treat SOM, including medication and surgical interventions. There is a paucity of reports describing microvascular decompression (MVD) of the trochlear nerve near the root entry zone for the treatment of a neurovascular conflict.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a common extrathyroidal manifestation of hyperthyroidism, typically associated with Graves' disease (GD). This condition can cause severe functional limitations as well as significant aesthetic concerns. Treatment for TED patients aims to restore functionality and address aesthetic concerns.

Background: To investigate the association between obesity and orbital fat expansion in proptosis of thyroid eye disease.
Methods: This observational study retrospectively enrolled 87 participants who received orbital fat decompression surgery for thyroid eye disease. Primary outcome measures included average body mass index (BMI) and the proportion of the study sample with overweight and obesity, compared with the general Taiwanese population.
