Abstract. Purpose:To report 3 cases of Graves ophthalmopathy who were treated for compressive optic neuropathy. Cases:All were females aged 43, 70 and 76 years respectively. They developed bilateral compressive optic neuropathy during the course of treatment. Each case received two courses of 1,000 mg methylprednisolone for 3 days followed by radiation. One case improved after this treatment. Another case recurred but recovered after another course of pulsed steroid therapy. The third case needed orbital decompression surgery after failure of additional pulsed steroid. Conclusion:These cases illustrate that pulsed corticosteroid therapy followed by radiation may be effective for Graves ophthalmopathy with compressive optic neuropathy. Orbital decompression may be needed after failure of this therapeutic modality.
