title: [Surgical orbital decompression in Basedowian optic neuropathy. Apropos of 5 cases].
abstract: Surgical orbital decompression in 5 patients with basedowian optic neuropathy restored the visual acuity and visual field in all cases. The place of surgery among the different therapeutic options proposed for this serious complication of Basedow's disease is discussed, as well as the advantages over other decompression techniques of the procedure used : the cutaneous approach to a trans-ethmoidonasal decompression.
