Abstract: The extended pterional orbital decompression improved vision and decreased proptosis and restriction of extra-ocular movements in patients with severe sight-threatening and disfiguring cases of Graves' orbitopathy and is still an effective and low-risk alternative to other non-neurosurgical operative techniques. Especially new developing postdecompression strabismus can be successfully avoided.

“…An average reduction of proptosis of 3.79 mm was achieved. Double vision and restricted eye movement were present in 76.2 percent and improved in 63% [ 26 ]. Schick and Hassler reported their series of neurosurgical management of orbital inflammations and infections.…”

“…While isolated floor decompression is rarely performed, isolated medial wall decompression with or without endoscopic approach has reported proptosis reduction of 2.5-3.1 mm or 1-4 mm, respectively (reviewed in [ 41 ]). Single lateral wall decompression achieved decompression effects of 2.7-4.8 mm [ 42 , 43 ]. When combined medial with the lateral wall as balanced decompression, larger proptosis reduction can be achieved between 4 and 5.5 mm [ 44 46 ].…”

“…Ein wichtiger Aspekt hierbei ist die Vermeidung postopera-tiver Doppelbilder, welche bei früheren Dekompressionstechniken in bis zu zwei Dritteln aller Fälle auftraten [15]. Neben anderen Verfahren haben sich die (tiefe) laterale Dekompression und die pterionale Dekompression diesbezüglich als günstig erwiesen [16,17]. Ein weiterer Ansatz zur Optimierung der Versorgungsqualität besteht in der patientenzentrierten Wahl des Operationsverfahrens [18].…”
