In many patients with unilateral proptosis dysthyroid disease can be excluded on clinical grounds. The primary purpose of the CT scan is to exclude a mass lesion but the appearances must be correlated with biochemical tests of thyroid function. Confirmation of dysthyroid disease is provided by an abnormal thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) test in the great majority of patients whose proptosis is increasing or is of recent origin.
许多单侧眼球突出的患者可根据临床症状排除甲状腺功能障碍性疾病。CT扫描的主要目的是排除占位性病变，但扫描结果必须与甲状腺功能的生化检查结果相结合。对于大多数眼球突出正在加重或近期出现眼球突出的患者，促甲状腺激素释放激素（TRH）试验结果异常可确诊甲状腺功能障碍性疾病。
