why not protosis?
Due to accumulation of proteoglycan
Proptosis is a feature of Grave's disease.
Grave's disease is Hypethyroidism but not every case of Hyperthyroidism is a case of Grave's disease.
The stem quetion is talking about "Hypethyroidism".So proptosis is not essential but Osteoporosis is present in every long standing case of Hyperthyroidism.
Best of luck

A bone loss..untreated hyperthyroid pts are at the risk of rapid bone loss due to increase osteoclastic activity in the bone cells.
