What's wrong with bulging eyeballs

Bulging eyeballs are also called exophthalmos, which means that the eyeballs move forward a little from their normal position and bulge outward, which is an abnormal condition. Under normal circumstances, the eyeball is located at the top of the cornea in the eye socket and does not exceed the upper and lower edges of the eye socket. If the difference in the outward protrusion of the patient's eyes does not exceed 2mm, it is likely that the eyeball is pathologically protruding.

Intraorbital tumors:

It is one of the common causes of exophthalmos. Most of them are benign, with hemangioma being the most common, and the onset is slow. The main manifestations are unilateral exophthalmos, normal or decreased vision, and unobstructed eye movement. Common manifestations include hemangioma, meningioma, lacrimal gland tumor, neurotheca tumor, etc.

Inflammatory exophthalmos:

It is mostly caused by local or adjacent tissue and systemic inflammation, such as eye fasciitis, orbital cellulitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, panophthalmitis, etc. In addition to exophthalmos, there are also inflammatory symptoms such as local redness, swelling, heat and pain.

Vascular proptosis:

It is common in varicose veins of the cavernous sinus of the internal carotid artery and orbital veins. The former is more common after trauma, also known as pulsating exophthalmos; the latter can be congenital or acquired, also known as intermittent exophthalmos.

Other causes of orbital bone deformity include:

The volume of the eye socket becomes smaller and the eyeball becomes protruding.

Traumatic exophthalmos:

It is caused by local trauma to the eyes and orbits, resulting in orbital hemorrhage, tissue edema and emphysema.
