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)
