In the case of Graves Eye Disease (thyroid), infiltrative ophthalmopathy, different antibodies attack the muscles responsible for eye movements and eyelids. Although the thyroid and the eye itself can be involved by the immune system, it is assumed that the two are independent of each other. The antibodies that attack the eye is sufficient cause inflammation and swelling of the muscles around the eye that can eventually lead to wide-open eyes, double vision and eyelid retraction. In some cases, the muscles can be enlarged up to eight times their normal size and can mimic an orbital tumor. No, you do not have cancer.
Treatment and control of NO hyperthyroidism can improve the appearance of bulging eyesor double vision associated with Graves eye disease. Graves Eye Disease in women aged between 20 and 45 years.
The ocular complications of severe hyperthyroidism is called thyroid optic neuropathy is caused by pressure on the optic nerve, causing vision loss with moderate to severe. Loss of vision can be difficult, leading to a change in perception of color, the complete loss of vision. The treatment should be administered as soon as possible, usually consists of oral steroids.
To the extent that the doctors have already tried prednisone home, do you consider surgery as a subtotal or total thyroidectomy?
If the vision is not improved after the operation is necessary to relieve pressure around the optic nerve to. The surgery involves removing the bone from the deepest point of the orbit, where the pressure on the nerve is the largest. This operation is the orbital decompression.
