Book Description
Excerpt from Archives of Ophthalmology, Vol. 51: Founded in 1869 Fig. I is a reproduction of a photograph Of the patient on admission to the hospital, and Fig. 2 shows how he appeared two and' one half months later. Luxation Of the eyeball is Of rare occurrence in exophthalmic goiter. While it is only an incident in the course of the disease, the treatment must be immediate and drastic or the effect on the vision may be most disastrous. Our knowledge of the aetiology Of the cardinal symptoms of exophthalmic goiter is still too indefinite to permit Of more than conjecture in regard to the causes Of the disease. But, assuming that congestion Of the blood-vessels plays a part in the exophthalmos, it may not be unreasonable to suggest that the lifting Of three hundred eighty-pound weights each day, as in the case reported, was one Of the contributing factors in the causation Of the extreme exophthalmos.
