exoftalmus
Also known as proptosis, Eye proptosis
Exophthalmos (also called exophthalmus, exophthalmia, proptosis, or exorbitism) is a bulging of the eye anteriorly out of the orbit. Exophthalmos can be either bilateral (as is often seen in Graves' disease) or unilateral (as is often seen in an orbital tumor). Complete or partial dislocation from the orbit is also possible from trauma or swelling of surrounding tissue resulting from trauma.

Exoftalmus (från grekiskans opthalmos, öga) betyder utstående ögonglober (glosögon, glosögdhet, "koögon"). Företeelsen ses bland annat vid Graves sjukdom som är en form av tyretoxikos (endokrin oftalmopati), eller vid förlamning i . Graden av exoftalmus kan mätas med en då man mäter corneas (hornhinnans) ställning i förhållande till kanten av orbita (ögonhålan); värdena anges i millimeter.
