Despite significant advances in vitreoretinal surgery, it still remains without an effective prophylactic or therapeutic medical treatment.

Acute orbital inflammation can lead to irreversible vision loss in serious cases. Treatment thus far has been limited systemic steroids or surgical decompression of the orbit. An animal model that mimics characteristic features acute as found thyroid eye disease be used explore novel treatment modalities.We developed a murine by injecting oxazolone into mouse The mice underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and were euthanized at various time points for histologic examination....
