Trigone width and amount of fat removed were positive predictors of exophthalmos reduction after deep lateral decompression. Trigone width was inversely associated with orbital width, and results showed that larger exophthalmos reductions could be achieved in narrower orbits. This CT-based prediction method will assist preoperative decision-making regarding additional fat removal and/or removal of another orbital wall.
