Use of computed tomography to assess volume change after endoscopic orbital decompression for Graves' ophthalmopathy

摘要

Background: Orbital decompression is frequently performed in the management of patients with sight-threatening and disfiguring Graves' ophthalmopathy. The quantitative measurements of the change in orbital volume after orbital decompression procedures are not definitively known. Furthermore, the quantitative effect of septal deviation on volume change has not been previously analyzed.
