Abstract

A patients with Grave Ophthalmopathy who underwent orbital decompression surgery involving two walls, medial and lateral. The surgery was performed in collaboration with an ENT specialist. This case report described a patient who presented with Thyroid Eye Disease NOSPEC V. It has been reported that a 35-year-old male had complained of bilateral proptosis, decreased visual acuity, and eye pain. The patient had been diagnosed with hyperthyroid 1 year before coming to the eye clinic. The patient was given a peribulbar steroid injection, but no improvement was observed. Visual acuity of the right eye was 3/60 and the left eye was 1/60. Lagophthalmos were seen on both eyes, 6mm in the right and 4mm in the left. The cornea of the right eye had infiltrated due to exposure keratitis. Proper eye movement was restricted to superonasal. The patient underwent medial and lateral orbital wall decompression of the left eye. Left eye visual acuity was improved to 20/150. Lagophthalmos was improved up to 3 mm. Medial and lateral orbital wall decompression are minimally invasive procedures involving removing a small portion of the bone from either the medial or lateral wall of the orbit. This allows more space for the eye to move backward, reducing pressure on the optic nerve and improving vision. This procedure also improves the cosmetic appearance of the eye. The ophthalmologic specialist performed the lateral wall decompression, and the ENT specialist performed the medial wall decompression. Medial and lateral orbital wall decompression has proven to be effective in treating patients with proptosis. The procedures have a low complication rate, and patients typically experience a significant improvement in their symptoms within a few weeks of the surgery.  Keywords:  orbital decompression, trans endoscopic decompression, thyroid eye disease

Abstract

Grave's Ophthalmopathy can occur in three phases depending on the inflammatory process.  Immunosuppressant therapy is an anti-inflammatory option for managing the active phase of GO.  A study showed a significant improvement in GO proptosis in patients treated with methylprednisolone.  Objective: To determined the frequency of proptosis in Thyroid Eye Disease  (TED) patients and the differential effect of oral or intravenous steroid administration.  Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study through medical record data from March 2023 to March 2024.  The subjects are all inpatients with thyroid eye disease in Dr M Djamil General Hospital, Padang.  T-tests were performed to determine each group's different perceptions.  Results: Thirty-six subjects with Grave’s ophthalmopathy.  The effect size of the changes in Hertel values in patients given both oral and intravenous corticosteroid therapy is significant in both eyes.  The effect size of the oral therapy is significant, with 0.341 in the right eyes and 0.303 in the left eyes.  The intravenous therapy is also significant, with the effect size 0.347 in the right and 0.271 in the left.  The change of Hertel value in patients given both oral and intravenous corticosteroid therapy is significant in the right eyes (p = 0.009 and p = 0.008).  Conclusion: Oral and injectable corticosteroids have similar effectiveness, thus providing flexibility in therapy selection for patients with thyroid eye disease.

Abstract

Eye diseases, particularly cataracts, are the leading cause of blindness worldwide. This community service program by the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University, was conducted at the Pangkalan Public Health Center, Lima Puluh Kota Regency, by empowering PELITA (Posyandu) cadres in early detection of cataracts. Methods included counseling, training, and eye examination simulations for 40 cadres, followed by community screening using visual acuity and anterior segment examinations. Evaluation was carried out with pre- and post-tests, satisfaction surveys, and follow-up on patients referred for surgery. The average cadre score improved from 68 (pre-test) to 74.5 (post-test), indicating increased knowledge. A total of 71 patients were screened, including 40 cataract and 8 pterygium cases; 26 cataract and 4 pterygium patients subsequently underwent surgery. Cadres reported high satisfaction with the training and expressed readiness to continue participation. This program demonstrates that cadre training is effective in improving early detection of cataracts and other visual impairments, and provides a foundation for establishing a Vision Center in Lima Puluh Kota.
