Orbitopati Thyroid (Graves Orbitopati)

Thyroid disorders ophthalmology (eye diseases) has a special importance in terms of. Which plays a very important role in the metabolism of the body and disorders of the thyroid gland thyroid hormones also affect the eyes such as diseases emerging in many areas of the body affected.

Graves ophthalmopathy or thyroid orbitopati (orbitopati) called this disease, especially in the soft tissue around the eye are significantly affected, and so our eyes are quite sensitive, which, therefore, would be at risk of seeing. On the basis of the autoimmune disorder involving the immune system of the body. The thyroid gland to produce more or less running unstable running may be related to diseases of the thyroid gland can be seen.

Around the eyes soft tissues (adipose tissue, muscles, lacrimal glands) with eclipse in this tissue edema (swelling with fluid), which settled in the space of orbital bone that we call creates pressure on the eyes. The effect of this pressure in the eyes tend to move forward, so the only place without the bone. Patients abnormally opened, stepped forward, swollen, red-eye images are formed. Eye movement-muscles are affected with limitation of eye movements, double vision (diplopia), symptoms as can be. Uncontrolled and in advanced cases, is located behind the eyes, and the optic nerve that carry the image to the brain (optic nerve) can lead to the deterioration of this highly sensitive pressure on nerves. Treatment is delayed in cases of irreversible vision loss and even blindness lumbar spondylosis of the nerve (optic atrophy) may occur.
Smoking is the most important single preventable and almost thyroid orbitaopati in terms of known risk factor. Possible thyroid thyroid patients seen in approximately one fifth of this rate associated with the use of non orbitopati 6-8 times more. Another important preventable risk factor for thyroid hormones are balanced. Rate for these patients regular blood tests and continuous monitoring is essential. Still pretty tight under the control of thyroid function tests thyroid thicker and the ideal value can be kept at every stage of the disease in a patient even though there are several forms of thyroid orbitopati.

As bond to the affected tissues are common symptoms of the disease.

Red, swollen eyes and starting it forward
Of the eyelids, redness, swelling and torbalanma
A lot of the eyelids opening and retreat backwards
Limitation in eye movements and double vision
Eyes stinging, burning, excessive tearing, or the feeling of dryness
Blur in your vision
From time to time, some patients the diagnosis of hypothyroidism are associated with the emergence of the findings of even the eyes first. Also a systemic autoimmune disease, including multidisciplinary attached to the body's immune system because it is i.e. a discomfort, Internal Medicine, and the progression of eye diseases endorkinoloji that would give the most accurate results for the patient condition. Your eyes, your vision, especially if you protect an expert in okuloplasti, always a physician should be consulted.

The disease affected tissues, and depending on the course, different treatment options are available. In patients with early systemic and/or oral steroid therapy can benefit from. In advanced cases, surgical treatment is usually (orbital decompression) are born with an indication of. Surgical treatment can be applied with an eye out to fulfill a lot more old forward aesthetic concerns, as sometimes under pressure by relaxing the limit of vision, such as vision loss and blindness can be applied to prevent the emergence of quite a serious situation.

Also double vision (diplopia) eyelid abnormalities of the eye muscles for strabismus in patients with complaints or operations (opening, withdrawal, lid retraction in patients with eyelid operations against it may be necessary. Whatever is on the stage of the disease, walkthrough, surgical and/or medical treatments on patients in terms of the regulation of okuloplasti be seen by a specialist
it is important.

Orbitopati the disease in patients in a stage of thyroid surgical treatment may be considered. Sometimes old forward is usually a lot to fulfill his eyes out in order to relieve the pressure on the optic nerve called the operation of orbital decompression can be applied. This operation, as the name implies, is done in order to reduce the pressure in the region. In order to do that settled in the bone tissue needs to expand our eyes, called ORBITA. Also odemlenmi oil too swollen around the eye and could contribute to the decrease of the pressure by taking a part of the package. Without being under pressure by expanding the space and the objective is to enable you to sit in the back of the eye. Therefore, an anxiety driven both functional and aesthetic approach.

Decompression surgery can be accomplished by intervening in the same session under general anesthesia with single or both eyes. Katlanti as possible from the line of the eyelids, or the lid from the inner parts of micro-incisions are made so that surgical unwanted marks to stay after the operation is prevented. After the operation, patients spend in the hospital for the first day or two. Dren can be removed after 1-2 days if you placed. Usually the eyes are closed, but especially for the first few days of operation to be more intense swelling as a result, application of ice pack, drops and topical ointments are used. If stitches are used, it is taken around 10 days. Usually, laughing face interventions with lasting consequences. As mentioned earlier, patients who may be aesthetically implementation of the requirement of emergency can be taken on the agenda.

Orbital decompression surgery because it is quite special and delicate, and successful decompression surgery with a specialist is knowledgeable about thyroid and okuloplasti orbitopati to a satisfactory conclusion will be the right choice to advance.
