A series of 34 patients presenting with unilateral proptosis has been studied in order to evaluate the mechanism of proptosis. It is observed that symmetrical (axial) proptosis is usually the result of generalised increase in intraorbital contents and occurs in thyroid disease and with intracranial lesions lying remote from the orbit. Rarely, in myasthenia gravis, it may be caused by myogenic paralysis of the extraocular muscles. Asymmetrical proptosis is the result of localised increase in intraorbital contents, and this occurs with expanding lesions of the orbit and in lesions arising from neighbouring structures and enroaching the orbit.
为评估眼球突出的机制，对34例表现为单侧眼球突出的患者进行了一系列研究。观察到对称性（轴性）眼球突出通常是眶内容物普遍增多的结果，见于甲状腺疾病以及远离眼眶的颅内病变。在重症肌无力中，这种情况很少由眼外肌的肌源性麻痹引起。不对称性眼球突出是眶内容物局部增多的结果，见于眼眶的扩展性病变以及源自邻近结构并侵犯眼眶的病变。
