| Description |
Thyroid eye disease is the most common cause of unilateral or bilateral proptosis in the adult patient. Other signs of thyroid eye disease should be sought, including lid retraction, inferior scleral show, and lid lag. Patients with markedly asymmetric or strictly unilateral proptosis should probably undergo an imaging of the orbit to exclude orbital tumor. Pair with 91_50. |
