PURPOSE: During the surgical correction of dysthyroid diplopia, the risk of ischemia by transection of the anterior ciliary arteries is well-known. In order to avoid this, we modified the classical surgical technique: (1) through the preservation of the vascular pedicles during muscle recession and (2) if necessary, through a plication (instead of a resection) of the ipsilateral antagonist muscle. The objective to be achieved is thus the resolution of the diplopia without ischemic complications. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We report a prospective series of 10 patients with dysthyroid ophthalmopathy, causing strabismic diplopia, all operated on by the same surgeon (BR) after at least 12 months of euthyroidism. Data collection included: history of previous decompressive surgery, surgical procedure, and oculomotor status before and after surgery. RESULTS: Ten patients (8 females), aged 51 to 74 years (mean age, 58.00 ± 7.62 years), were collected between 2008 and 2012. All patients had one or more vascular risk factors (diabetes, smoking, obesity, high blood pressure). With a follow-up from 16 to 67 months (mean ± SD 27.7 months ± 14.87), surgical outcomes were excellent: diplopia was cured in all cases, with recovery of stereoscopic vision. We had no operative or postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: The technique of preservation of the anterior ciliary vascularization, which is particularly justified for these fragile patients, is compatible with moderate muscle recessions. For larger deviations, in which a larger recession might increase the proptosis, it is possible to add a plication of the ipsilateral antagonist. This surgical technique made possible the suppression of the diplopia in all cases.

Cavernous hemangioma is the most common primary vascular neoplasm. It typically occurs in middle-aged women, causing a progressive painless proptosis as the principal symptom. It exceptionally compresses the optic nerve. We report the case of a cavernous hemangioma revealed by optic neuropathy in a 33-year-old female.
