PURPOSE: To compare inferomedial wall orbital decompression to balanced medial plus lateral wall orbital decompression in patients with Graves' orbitopathy in the inactive phase with regard to exophthalmos reduction and the effects on quality of life.
METHODS: Forty-two patients with inactive Graves' orbitopathy were randomly divided into two groups and submitted to one of two orbital decompression techniques: inferomedial wall orbital decompression or medial plus lateral wall orbital decompression. Preoperative and postoperative assessments included Hertel's exophthalmometry and a validated Graves' orbitopathy quality of life questionnaire. The results of the two groups were compared.
RESULTS: Compared to preoperative measurement, exophthalmos reduction was statistically significant in both groups (p<0.001) but more so in patients undergoing medial plus lateral wall orbital decompression (p=0.010). Neither orbital decompression techniques increased the visual functioning subscale score on the Graves' orbitopathy quality of life questionnaire (inferomedial wall orbital decompression p=0.362 and medial plus lateral wall orbital decompression p=0.727), but a statistically significant difference was observed in the score of the appearance subscale in patients submitted to medial plus lateral wall orbital decompression (p=0.006).
CONCLUSIONS: Inferomedial wall orbital decompression is a good alternative for patients who do not require large exophthalmos reduction. However, medial plus lateral wall orbital decompression offers greater exophthalmos reduction and greater improvement in appearance (higher Graves' orbitopathy quality of life questionnaire scores), making it a suitable option for esthetic-functional rehabilitation.
