Results after En Bloc Lateral Wall Decompression Surgery with Orbital Fat Resection in 111 Patients with Graves’ Orbitopathy
Table 2
(a) Detailed characteristics of patients whose Gorman score improved after decompression surgery. In patients who underwent bilateral orbital decompression “a” refers to the right orbit and “b” to the left orbit. (b) Detailed characteristics of patients whose Gorman score worsened after decompression surgery. Three patients experienced worsening of elevation and two patients had deteriorations in horizontal motility. In patients who underwent bilateral orbital decompression “a” refers to the right orbit and “b” to the left orbit.
