Unilateral exophthalmos (Wagner F et al 2005) may be caused by:
*Orbital abscesses (is this the same as retrobulbar abscesses)
*Orbital cellulites
*Orbital cysts
*Retrobulbar fat prolapse
*Salivary mucocoele
*Orbital neoplasia
*''Taenia serialis'' - coenurosis
Bilateral exophthalmos may be caused by, I assume, the above occurring bilaterally and also by:
*Thymoma (Vernaue et al 1995)
*Mediastinal lymphoma (Wagner F et al 2005)
