Might someone explain how to pronounce Exophthalmos? I think that it might help some people [including me] 151.199.243.211 16:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
It's pronounced "ex op thal mus." --170.163.36.38 14:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
exophthalmos vs. proptosis
I was taught that exophthalmos (as in Graves) features a lid lag when the patient looks downwards... ie, the sclera is visible above the iris... and that propotosis is just a buldging forward of the eye associated with hyperthyroidism in general and without a lid lag. Does anyone care to speak to this? --170.163.36.38 14:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

ECD < histiocytosis
ECD is the only inflammatory cause listed, but other histiocytoses can also induce proptosis; see for example <http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMicm1312532>. Would it be better to replace ECD with histiocytosis? The latter article links to the article on ECD. 73.53.61.168 (talk) 09:17, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
