Exophthalmos : A Forgotten Clinical Sign of Cushing's Syndrome

الملخص EN

Exophthalmos is typically associated with Graves' ophthalmopathy.

Although originally described by Harvey Cushing, exophthalmos is an underappreciated sign of Cushing's syndrome.

We present a case of a 38-year-old female who presented with severe bilateral proptosis and was subsequently diagnosed with Cushings disease.

We discuss the possible mechanisms causing exophthalmos in patients with either endogenous or exogenous hypercortisolemia.
