Objectives: To calculate the volume of bone in 3 areas of the deep lateral orbit that are available for removal in decompression surgery and to demonstrate these 3 areas within a 3-dimensional computed tomographic reconstruction of the orbit.
Design: The 3 areas of bone in the deep lateral orbit were designated the lacrimal keyhole, the sphenoid door jamb, and the basin of the inferior orbital fissure. By means of digitized computed tomographic scans, these 3 areas of bone were analyzed by measuring preoperative and postoperative orbital volumes and predicted bony expansion volumes in 9 patients (17 orbits) who underwent deep lateral orbital decompression surgery. We also calculated the volume of bone that could be removed from 11 normal orbits. A 3-dimensional computer reconstruction of an orbital computed tomographic scan was created, and the 3 areas of potential bone were delineated within it.
Results: The average volumes of the basin of the inferior orbital fissure, the sphenoid door jamb, the lacrimal keyhole, and the total of the 3 regions were 1.2, 2.9, 1.5, and 5.6 cm3, respectively. The 3 areas of bone contributed variably to the total, with the door jamb contributing the most volume of the 3, nearly twice the value of the other 2. There was, however, a significant amount of interpatient variability, especially for the door jamb region.
Conclusion: Orbital decompression surgery of the deep lateral wall can provide adequate volume expansion because of the amount and location of potential space that exists in the 3 areas of deep bone.

This article summarizes the results of research on the morphological and functional features of different types of orbital bone decompression in thyroid eye disease (TED) and presents an analysis of surgical anatomy of the lateral orbital wall in the context of performing deep lateral bone decompression of the orbit was carried out. The study includes an analysis of the results of orbital bone decompression with resection of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone using ultrasound osteodestructor in comparison with osteodestruction using a high-speed drill, description of transethmoidal orbital decompression with endonasal access both as a single method of surgical treatment of TED and in combination with lateral bone decompression of the orbit, including the advantages and disadvantages of the method, and presents a morphological description of the pathological changes in the medial orbital wall bone fragments obtained during endonasal transethmoidal orbital decompression in patients with TED.

The article reviews data on the anatomical and topographic features of the lateral wall in the context of performing orbital surgery and presents a description of the surgical areas of the lateral wall that are most important for increasing the volume of the orbit: the lacrimal keyhole, the sphenoid door jamb, and the basin of the inferior orbital fissure. Particular attention is given to the topographic anatomy of the sphenoid door jamb as the most promising area for orbital decompression and transorbital access to the skull base.

Purpose: To determine orbital anatomical parameters that affect surgical outcome of deep lateral orbital wall decompression.
Methods: Twenty orbits of 20 patients with moderate proptosis (maximum 25 mm) due to thyroid eye disease who were stable for at least 6 months were included in this prospective cohort study. Four parameters including lateral orbital wall distance (LOWD), removable surface area (RSA), removable surface length (RSL), and sphenoid door jamb thickness (SDJ) were evaluated by computed tomography (CT) scan prior to surgery in these patients.

A 34-year-old man with Basedow disease consulted us to treat disfiguring proptosis. On examination, the patient showed right lower eyelid retraction and right inferior rectus muscle enlargement, which were consistent with thyroid eye disease. Hertel's exophthalmometric examination demonstrated proptosis of 25.

The aim of this study was to identify the three-dimensional topography of the sphenoid door jamb (SDJ) in the lateral orbital wall and to propose navigational guidelines for safe deep lateral decompression using surgical landmarks. The 120 orbits and SDJs of 60 subjects were three-dimensionally reconstructed using Mimics software. The mean volumes of the orbit and SDJ were 24.
