Classification of orbital morphology for decompression surgery in Graves’ orbitopathy: two-dimensional versus three-dimensional orbital parameters

Abstract

We present easily measurable reference data for the orbit that can be used for preoperative study and classification of individual orbital morphology. A short and shallow orbit may require a different decompression technique than a large and deep orbit. Prospective clinical trials are needed to demonstrate how individual orbital morphology affects the outcome of decompression surgery.
