Surgical Decompression of the Orbit

2011
In 1835 Graves first described the characteristic exophthalmos of thyroid eye disease, and his name has since become synonymous with thyrotoxic ophthalmopathy. Graves disease is relatively common, with a prevalence and incidence of 1% and 0.1%, respectively.

Orbital Decompression: Graded Surgical Approach

2018
Orbital decompression is an effective surgical intervention for the treatment of thyroid eye disease and other conditions causing expansion of orbital soft tissue volume. Indications for surgery include disfiguring proptosis, compressive optic neuropathy, exposure keratopathy, orbital congestion, and reduction of proptosis in preparation for strabismus

Surgical Decompression of Branch Retinal Vein Occlusions

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1988
Many patients with branch retinal vein occlusions can develop significant long-term diminution of vision due to such complications as macular edema, retinal neovascularization, and vitreous hemorrhage. One of us (S.C.) developed a new surgical procedure that involves sectioning or decompression of the common sheath connecting the artery and vein at the

Surgical options in ICH including decompressive craniectomy

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2007
Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 15 to 20% of strokes. The condition carries a higher morbidity and mortality than occlusive stroke. Despite considerable research effort, no therapeutic modality either medical or surgical has emerged with clear evidence of benefit other than in rare aneurysmal cases.

SURGICAL DECOMPRESSION OF MALIGNANT EXOPHTHALMOS

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1950
MALIGNANT exophthalmos1is a clinical entity distinct from exophthalmos as generally seen accompanying thyrotoxicosis. These conditions may be closely related etiologically2; yet the diverse clinical pictures they present and the difference in their management make it necessary that the clinician be acquainted with the diagnostic criteria of the disease

Minimally Invasive Surgical Decompression of Occipital Nerves

Journal of Visualized Experiments
Occipital neuralgia (ON) stands out as one of the most distressing forms of headache disorders, distinguished by persistent pain at the base of the skull, recurring occipital headaches, and scalp dysesthesia or allodynia. ON is notorious for its unrelenting agony, severely impacting the lives of those afflicted.

Outcomes of Surgical Paraclavicular Thoracic Outlet Decompression

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2014
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a constellation of signs and symptoms caused by compression of the neurovascular structures in the thoracic outlet. These structures include the brachial plexus, the subclavian vein, and the subclavian artery, resulting in neurogenic (NTOS), venous (VTOS), and arterial (ATOS) types of TOS, respectively.

Surgical Decompression of Blowout Fracture

1978
Treatment of blowout fracture is the repositioning of orbital contents and the reconstruction of the orbital floor. The complete repositioning of orbital contents between fractured bone fragments is not so easy. It is rather difficult, especially when the fracture lies in a deep area of the orbital floor and spreads out wide, even under the operation ...

Surgical Decompression for Pituitary Apoplexy

2013
The dramatic events surrounding pituitary apoplexy are discussed. These include the compression and malfunction of cranial nerves II, II, IV and IV, as well as endocrine issues, prostration and headache. The indications for surgery are described, in particular to highlight the need for stabilisation of the patient before any surgical intervention is ...

Surgical Decompression for Thyroid Eye Disease

2011
Orbital decompression surgery is designed to restore the normal volume relationship between the orbital soft tissue and bony volume, thereby reducing orbital pressure, proptosis, and, when present, compressive optic neuropathy. Numerous surgical techniques have been described to achieve these goals, including removal of orbital fat and one or all of ...
