The etiology of the endocrine orbitopathy is still unknown and thereby their treatment remains symptomatic. The surgical decompression is achieved in resecting lateral wall, roof and partly bottom of the orbit. We treated 23 eyes in 14 patients and in only one patient the decompression obtained with this method was insufficient. This patient underwent additionally transantral transethmoidal decompression. One patient had a complete loss of vision after surgery probably due to direct lesion of the optic nerve. The decompression of the orbit is indicated in fast progressive endocrine orbitopathies with impairment of the visual function.
