Basic

How to explain this chronic pathology to the patient, and what may he expect from the treatment. Which tests should you perform to detect serious problems?
Which initial treatment can you offer? When should systemic steroids or radiotherapy be initiated and when to advice a surgical intervention. Orbital decompression, strabismus surgery and different eyelid corrections will be discussed (not the surgical details) and illustrated with interactive cases.
