Hello everyone, I am Dr. Xiao Lihua, who has focused only on the diagnosis and treatment of orbital diseases for more than 40 years.
Orbital diseases are the most complex of ophthalmic diseases and the most difficult in diagnosis and treatment. Orbital disease itself is complex and changeable, requiring multidisciplinary expertise, so some doctors will inevitably misdiagnose or mistreat.
To understand orbital diseases, first understand the classification of orbital diseases. In layman's terms, it can be divided into three categories: the first is tumors, the second is trauma, and the third is hyperthyroid prosthesis.
Both diagnosis and treatment of orbital diseases are difficult, ranging from the risk of vision and appearance to the potential for life-threatening in severe cases. Therefore, when you find symptoms such as protrusion, diplopia, unexplained vision loss, redness and swelling of the eyes, you must go to the hospital of professional ophthalmology in time, find a doctor with orbital disease for consultation and treatment, do not delay the condition, and affect the lifelong impact.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > next briefly introduces several common types to you. </h1>
1. Tumors
Orbital tumors refer to the continuous growth of lumps formed by the overproliferation of mutant cells of the organism located in the orbital region. According to the severity of the etiology, it is roughly divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. Because the causes of orbital tumors are complex, treatment also needs to vary from disease to disease, and personalized treatment is very important.
In general, orbital tumors are still benign and more common, but orbital tumors in the elderly and children are mostly malignant.
2. Trauma
Orbital trauma is usually due to external causes, such as a blast fracture of the orbit caused by factors such as a car accident, impact, or boxing. Intraorbital soft tissues or extraocular muscles protrude outwards, typically with inverted and diplopia of the eyeball and orbital depression.
3. Hyperthyroid protrusions
Orbital inflammation, edema, tumors, etc. can cause monocular or binocular herniation, and hyperthyroidism is the most common orbital disease. Most patients are caused by abnormal thyroid function, but may also be seen in patients with normal thyroid function and only symptoms such as protruding eyes. General treatment requires first controlling hyperthyroidism or eye treatment at the same time, and then doing drugs, radiation therapy or surgery according to the eye condition.
