Transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression is a viable alternative for external orbital decompression. Today, it can be performed due to the great development of endoscopic technology and specific endoscopic surgical instruments. It requires strong anatomic knowledge and skilled hands. We present our experience with endoscopic orbital decompression focusing on the surgical technique used in our department. The surgical maneuvers must be firm and gentle protecting the local risk elements and respecting the orbital content.

Association of obesity with orbital fat expansion in thyroid eye disease.

BMC Ophthalmol

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, No. 138, Sheng Li Road, Tainan, 704, Taiwan.

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.

Concurrent Pressure-Induced Superconductivity and Photoconductivity Transitions in PbSeTe.

Adv Mater

December 2024

Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies and Department of Physics, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), Shenzhen, 518055, P. R. China.

Concurrent superconductivity and negative photoconductivity (NPC) are rarely observed. Here, the discovery in PbSeTe of superconductivity and photoconductivity transitions between positive photoconductivity (PPC) and NPC during compression is reported to ≈40 GPa and subsequent decompression, which are also accompanied by reversible structure transitions (3D Fm m ⇌ 2D Pnma ⇌ 3D Pm m). Superconductivity with a maximum T of ≈6.

Management of Graves' upper eyelid retraction (GUER): A review.

Indian J Ophthalmol

December 2024

Hariram Motumal Nasta and Renu Hariram Nasta Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Service, L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

Graves' disease, a common autoimmune disorder, characteristically presents with upper eyelid retraction, causing significant functional and cosmetic concerns for affected individuals. The management of Graves' upper eyelid retraction has evolved significantly over recent years, with various surgical and non-surgical interventions. An ideal procedure is predictable and easily repeatable.

Transconjunctival Orbital Decompression in Cherubism.

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg

December 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo.

Cherubism is a rare fibro-osseous disease characterized by the progressive expansion of the mandible and maxilla during childhood. Orbital involvement occurs in a subset of patients and is clinically manifested as upward displacement of the affected eye. The bony changes tend to spontaneously diminish or even regress after puberty.
