Observational StudyRelationships between eyelid position and levator-superior rectus complex and inferior rectus muscle in patients with Graves' orbitopathy with unilateral upper eyelid retraction.
To assess the relationships between eyelid position and levator palpebrae superioris (LPS)-superior rectus (SR) complex and inferior rectus (IR) muscle volume in patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO) with unilateral upper eyelid retraction. ⋯ In patients with GO, increased LPS/SR complex volume in the retracted eye and increased IR volume of the contralateral eye were both associated with unilateral upper eyelid retraction. The combination of LPS/SR complex volume, MRD1, and lid lag can be used as a reliable index of upper eyelid retraction in patients with GO.
