Abstract
To study morphological features of extraocular muscles in patients with endocrine myopathy taking into account the duration of the disease. A total of 16 patients with thyroid eye disease were included in the study. After a routine ophthalmic examination, they all underwent extraocular muscle surgery and orbital decompression. The biopsy material obtained at surgery was studied histopathologically. Particular morphological changes have been found in muscles of endocrine myopathy patients. Their relationship to disease duration has been also established. Considering endocrine-related morphological changes in extraocular muscles, the favorable period for surgical correction has been defined.
