thyroidopathy is the MCC of unilat or bilat exopthalmos.
The etiological basis of proptosis can be inflammatory, vascular, or infectious. In adults, thyroid orbitopathy is the most common cause of unilateral and bilateral exophthalmos. Other causes include such neoplasms as cavernous hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, lymphomas, Wegener granulomatosis, and orbital cellulitis.
In children, unilateral proptosis often is due to an orbital cellulitis–type picture, and, in bilateral cases, neuroblastoma and leukemia are more likely.
good going guys!!!
