Abstract
We describe twenty-one patients on sustained corticosteroid therapy who presented with exophthalmos. Each patient received a complete ophthalmologic examination and further tests were conducted to rule out other causes of exophthalmos. Our data suggest that corticosteroid-induced exophthalmos is an entity more common than has been previously recognized.Keywords
