Symptoms and signs of the patients were observed before and after the treatment course.<p>RESULTS: Symptoms of 49 cases were improved significantly. In all cases, the mean value of exophthalmus of the patients was significantly decreased after the treatment by 3.1±1.4mm. The height of palpebral fissure was significantly decreased after the treatment by 2.4±0.9mm, there were statistically significant difference before and after treatment(<i>P</i><0.05).<p>COCLUSION:Methylprednisolone with octreotide retrobulbar injection therapy can improve symptoms and signs of the patients with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy with high safety and no obvious side effect. |
