Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The association between multiple autoimmune diseases can make management of the ocular proptosis very difficult and challenging for the orbit surgeon. We report an interesting case of a patient affected by Stiff person syndrome, type-1 diabetes and Graves' disease with Graves' orbitopathy, who underwent orbital decompression. Anaesthesiologic problems, as well as factors affecting the post-operative result, are discussed in detail; pertinent literature review was performed and discussed. |
