Abstract
Two cases of bilateral exophthalmos secondary to chronic steroid therapy are presented. Exophthalmos has been reported in Cushing's disease, in which endogenous steroid production is elevated. Exophthalmos associated with chronic exogenous steroid administration is an unusual although benign form of ocular proptosis.
