【 摘 要 】

Unilateral proptosis in hyperthyroidism is very rare condition. We have differentiated other causes leading to unilateral proptosis by considering clinical features, radiological finding, biochemical investigation and we have treated patient by antithyroid drugs and got good result within few months which is a rare entity to be considered. Patient is to be followed up for chances of developing contralateral eye involvement. Pure unilateral proptosis will occur in 5-11% of cases.
