Patient Profile
Name: 謝 X 莉 Age: 46 years old Gender: female Chart number: 24097375 Date of admission: 2011/12/12
Chief complaint
Right eye pain for 1 week.
Present Illness 1
This 46 years old female suffered from insidious right eye pain for 1 week. The accompanying symptoms are red eye, tearing (od). She had hyperthyroidism s/p subtotal thyroidectomy on 2011-8-18.
Thyroid orbitopathy with compressive optic neuropathy was diagnosed this September. She was admitted to our hospital and received steroid pulse therapy on September 5th this year.
Present Illness 2
After discharge on September 9th. She came for OPD follow-up on September 14th. Diplopia was still complained. OCT showed loss of nerve fibrous layer.
She was admitted for operation on September 20th, during which orbital decompression (ou) of temporal sides and muscle recession of inferior rectus were done.
On December 12th, she was admitted for steroid pulse therapy and orbital decompression of nasal sides.
