Abstract
Orbital decompression to treat progressive loss of vision owing to long-term hormonal disease is a well-documented curative procedure. Over the past 4 yr, 2 patients suffering from acute visual problems, owing to trauma and infection, have rapidly deteriorated to a no light perception visual level. In these 2 instances, vision was restored by timely orbital decompression.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
