Exophthalmos induced by exogenous steroids.

B Katz, R Carmody

    Journal of Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology
    |December 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Chronic steroid therapy can cause bilateral exophthalmos, a rare but benign condition where eyes protrude. This ocular proptosis is unusual but manageable, offering insights into steroid side effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Cushing's disease involves elevated endogenous steroid production and is linked to exophthalmos.
    • Exogenous steroid administration is a less common cause of ocular proptosis.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of bilateral exophthalmos secondary to chronic steroid therapy were observed.
    • The patients presented with protruding eyeballs due to long-term steroid use.

    Findings:

    • Chronic exogenous steroid administration can lead to bilateral exophthalmos.
    • This form of ocular proptosis is considered unusual and benign.

    Implications:

    • Highlights a rare side effect of long-term steroid use.
    • Informs clinicians about a benign cause of exophthalmos.
    • Suggests monitoring for ocular changes in patients on chronic steroid therapy.
