Transnasal Endoscopic Orbital Decompression
Consider when exophthalmos is still evident after disease activity is controlled, corneal exposure is present, or there is a risk of optic nerve compression; acute compressive optic neuropathy requires urgent specialist assessment. Decisions are based on disease stage, radiographic assessment of orb

How Transnasal Endoscopic Orbital Decompression is performed
This procedure often uses a transnasal endoscopic approach to reduce exophthalmos or optic nerve compression. Typically, with the assistance of endoscopy and navigation, the relevant sinuses are opened, part of the orbital wall bone and a thin layer of periosteum are removed, and a buffer space communicating with the sinus cavity is created, allowing the orbital contents to shift outward for decompression; if necessary, the compressive tissue is released. Postoperative monitoring includes vision, intraocular pressure, and nasal bleeding, with the goal of relieving compression and discomfort. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
