Massive lid oedema, ecchymosis, proptosis with a total restriction of extraocular movement, markedly raised intraocular pressure, and occlusion of the central retinal artery developed acutely in the right eye of a 26-year-old woman with a past history of disseminated intravascular coagulation. She had been admitted to hospital for symptoms of abdominal pain and bleeding from multiple sites a fe...

A SERIES of 500 cases of proptosis included two due to orbital malignant neurilemmoma, which according to Duke-Elder (1952) and Hogan and Zimmerman (1962) is a very rare condition. Case Reports Case 1, a 50-year-old woman (Fig. 1), had a left forward painless proptosis of 7-months' duration. Examination.-The right eye was normal and the visual acuity 6/9. The left eye showed proptosis 23 mm. (r...

Cyproterone has antiandrogenic, antigonadotropic, and progestagenic activity. High-dose preparations are used for treatment of prostate cancer and for treatment of hypersexuality. We describe a patient who was referred to our clinic with slowly progressive unilateral proptosis and blindness of the left eye. He had been treated with high-dose cyproterone actate (CPA) for 23 years. An obvious pro...

The use of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is an integral part of contemporary diagnostics of Graves‘ orbitopathy. The aim of this study was to assess proptosis measurement by MDCT and to compare it to the current standard, Hertel exophthalmometry. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Clinical Centre of Serbia and included 91 patients (19 male and 72 female) with verified Grave...

Proptosis in the neonatal period is relatively infrequent and has diverse underlying etiologies. One of the more common causes appears to be orbital subperiosteal hematoma. Early detection, differentiation from other causes, and regular follow-up are essential as loss of vision can occur. We describe two cases of neonatal proptosis caused by orbital subperiosteal hematoma highlighting different...

Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of unclear etiology, characterized by subcutaneous nodules, mainly in the head and neck region, frequently associated with regional lymphadenopathy. Orbital involvement is infrequent and when it occurs, usually affects the eyelid or the lacrimal gland. We report a case of a 44-year-old man that presented with bilateral slowly progress...

The authors want to highlight the importance of clinical, radiological and histopathological evaluation in unilateral proptosis. A 17-yearold male presented with left progressive nonpulsatile proptosis, lateral gaze diplopia and decreased visual acuity. It was diagnosed as orbital hydatid cyst on CT scan and MRI. The patient was successfully operated with near total recovery of the vision. Radi...

Orbital roof defects are rare congenital osseous abnormalities that cause protrusion of intracranial contents into the orbit, resulting in a condition known as the orbital meningoencephalocele, a rare cause of pulsatile proptosis. We present a case of a 25-year-old lady, presented to us with complaints of left frontal headache, left eye protrusion and double vision from the left eye for the pas...
