Modified Deep Lateral Wall Decompression Surgery in the Treatment of Thyroid‐Associated Ophthalmopathy: A Retrospective Evaluation

open access: yesEye &ENT Research, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 5-10, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Thyroid‐associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) may lead to severe exophthalmos and dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON), which can threaten visual function. Orbital decompression surgery is often required when medical therapy is insufficient; however, traditional deep lateral wall decompression techniques remain associated with several ...

Retinal Capillary Density Reduction Contributes to Dysthyroid Optic Neuropathy via an L‐Arginine‐NO Pathway: A Metabonomics and Clinical Trial Study

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Oxidative stress induces endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling and L‐arginine depletion, reducing nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in vascular endothelium and contributing to decreased retinal capillary density (RCD) in dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON).

Teprotumumab for Thyroid Eye Disease: Efficacy and Impact on Orbital Decompression Utilization

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 1, February 2026.
Teprotumumab has been proven effective in thyroid eye disease and associated exophthalmos management. Since its FDA approval in 2020, teprotumumab therapy has been a popular choice for managing exophthalmos which has resulted in decreased utilization of orbital decompression surgery, from 36.8% between 2015 and 2020 to 11.1% TED patients between 2020 ...
