“…In a study by Wenz et al ,8 progressive enlargement of extraocular muscles following orbital decompression was detected in three patients who presented with recurrent compressive optic neuropathy. A significant increase in the medial rectus muscle after orbital decompression surgery was recently reported by Hu et al 9.…”

“…[11][12][13][14] Even though extraocular muscle enlargement is known to occur postoperatively, 16 it is seldom associated with an exacerbation of symptoms and signs of TED, as rare as 1.3% in one study after orbital decompression. 17 Presumably, decreased orbital tissue pressure results in improved oxygenation and reduction of hypoxia-generated inflammatory mediators.…”

“…True recurrence of orbitopathy has not been reported in the literature. The closest report of a ‘recurrence’ is the enlargement of extra-ocular muscle after orbital decompression 4. Any ‘recurrence’ should be treated with suspicion.…”

A 58-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our hospital with a 2-week history of diplopia and proptosis of the left eye. Ten years earlier, she had been diagnosed as having ophthalmic Graves' disease and subsequently underwent successful left transantral orbital decompression for optic nerve compression. On clinical examination, there was bilateral proptosis, 5 mm greater on the left side, and hypoglobus of the left eye. Her visual acuities and colour vision were normal (Snellen visual acuity: left 6/6, right 6/6). There was significant restriction of ocular movements in the left eye. Routine haematological tests were performed, including thyroid function, which were all normal. A computed tomographic (CT) scan of the orbits was performed (figures 1 to 5).
