What diseases are proptosis associated with? What causes protruding eyes?

It is associated with hyperthyroidism.

If you feel that your eyes are protruding outward, you must go to a regular hospital for an eye protrusion test to accurately understand whether the eye is protruding and the severity of the protrusion. This symptom is usually seen in orbital disease or high myopia, and if there is an inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit or thyroid-related eye disease, proptosis occurs due to local inflammatory infiltration. If it is a space-occupying disease of the orbit, it may also cause proptosis.

High myopia is mainly due to the elongation of the eye axis as the degree of myopia increases, so the shape of the eye changes, including proptosis. It is necessary to choose the correct method according to different **, for inflammatory diseases, anti-inflammatory** needs to be given**, space-occupying diseases need to be surgical**, and there is currently no way ** for high myopia**.

There are many reasons for proptosis, usually the proptosis is more than 16mm, and the difference between the proptosis is greater than 2mm, which is proptosis, as follows:

Clause. 1. The most common cause of proptosis is high myopia, but there is no effective improvement method for proptosis caused by high myopia, and the occurrence and development process of myopia is an irreversible process.

Clause. 2. Proptosis caused by orbital diseases, such as orbital inflammatory pseudotumor, intraorbital mass, and occupancy in the eyeball, which causes the protrusion of the eyeball when the eyeball is pushed out. Intraorbital masses or inflammatory protrusions may be monocular, especially intraorbital tumors, which are generally less likely to protrude in both eyes.

Clause. 3. Thrommothy proptosis caused by thyroid eye disease generally occurs in both eyes, and there are manifestations of hyperthyroidism throughout the body.

In the case of these diseases, it is necessary to go to the ophthalmology department for a detailed examination, mainly the primary disease.

Look at your phone for a long time.

1. Inflammation of the tissues around the eyeball can cause proptosis of the eyeball, which is beneficial to the local inflammation and swelling of the eyeball, which will move the eyeball forward. Such as ocular fasciitis, orbital periosteitis, orbital cellulitis, etc., can cause proptosis.

2 Most of these tumors are located behind or on the side of the eyeball, some occur directly on the orbit, and some extend from the nearby paranasal sinuses. Due to the mass of the tumor, the eye protrudes anteriorly. In this case, whether it is a benign tumor or a malignant tumor, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

3 This is the most common cause of proptosis and can be divided into thyroxinic proptosis and thyrotropin-stimulating proptosis. The former is caused by hyperthyroidism, and the latter refers to prominent proptosis caused by excessive secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.

4. If the vision is not corrected in time, high myopia will also cause ophthalmos, which is caused by excessive adjustment of the extraocular muscles and ciliary muscles, which produces too much pressure on the eyeball.

5. Orbital burst fracture, intraorbital hemorrhage, intraorbital limb swelling and other ocular trauma can lead to proptosis. In addition, proptosis may also occur in neonatal birth trauma.

6. In this case, patients with congenital or acquired orbital varices will have proptosis due to the filling and stasis of the veins in the frame when they bow their heads or hold their breath; When the head is upright or supine, the eyeball can be restored, and even appear slightly intracted, so it is called intermittent proptosis.

7. It is mainly caused by the rupture of the internal carotid artery and the communication of the cavernous sinus cavity, which is more common in trauma or arteriosclerosis. Presents with unilateral or bilateral proptosis, and patients may hear a rumbling sound in the ear that is consistent with the rhythm of the heartbeat.

8 Hybsibs and lung flukes can parasitize in the eye socket, causing inflammation in the front of the eyes, resulting in proptosis.

What causes proptosis

If our body is uncomfortable, there will be some symptoms, such as proptosis, which may be due to reduced resistance or other diseases, so what is the cause of proptosis? Let's find out!

What causes proptosis

For people with hyperthyroidism, proptosis may occur if the tissues in the orbit are swollen and lymphatic infiltrates. Hyperthyroidism is mostly bilateral, but there are also unilateral, and the degree of exophthalmos is not necessarily positively correlated with the condition of hyperthyroidism, most of which occur at the same time as hyperthyroidism, but can also occur before or after hyperthyroidism resolves.

Sometimes the proptosis of the globe is also related to ethmoid sinusitis, chronic ethmoid sinusitis rarely occurs alone, and the symptoms are atypical, mainly manifested as neuralgia, mental depression, inattention and other symptoms are more common. When the sinus orifice is blocked, there may be a feeling of fullness at the base of the nose or eye socket, nasal congestion, olfactory disorders, and runny nose in the posterior nostrils.

If there is a tumor in the head and face or the metastasis of the whole body with cancer, it will also lead to proptosis, such as advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, due to the destruction of the skull, cranial nerve damage and tumor metastasis, it will also cause swelling and hyperplasia of the soft tissues in the orbit and obvious lesions of the eye muscles, so that the eyeball is obviously protruding, and the activity or retardation is limited.

If it is because of high myopia, the eyes will also protrude, which is due to the fact that most people with myopia are caused by the eye axis is longer than normal, this protrusion is relatively slight, but it is still necessary to pay enough attention, wear suitable glasses, and cooperate with the correction of bad eye habits, and oral eye vision nutrients, enhance the comprehensive nutrition of the eyes, control the degree of high myopia, and also prevent the occurrence of fundus lesions.

By reading the above article, we can understand that there are many reasons for proptosis, mainly because we usually need to pay attention to our eyesight, and we also need to go to the hospital regularly for regular eye examinations, so as to reduce the occurrence of diseases!
