Combined orbital decompression in Graves’ ophthalmopathy — Week 1
In a patient with thyroid eye disease presenting with proptosis, endoscopic medial-inferior orbital wall decompression combined with upper eyelid orbital fat decompression was performed.
Early postoperative findings (week 1):
▪️ Marked reduction in proptosis
▪️ Improved eyelid closure
▪️ More balanced orbital contour
Combined bony and fat decompression provides effective orbital volume expansion and favorable functional–cosmetic outcomes in selected Graves’ ophthalmopathy cases.
