Abstract: | Diplopia following orbital decompression is a common complication in Graves' ophthalmopathy. Strabismus surgery is often required to treat the persistent diplopia. The author presents a successful treatment with botulinum toxin A injection in a case of diplopia following orbital decompression. Treatment with botulinum toxin A in the management of new-onset diplopia following orbital decompression has been suggested in a case that is not amenable to prism treatment and may eliminate strabismus surgery in some cases. |
