In order to get a comprehensive view of the degree of proptosis in various stages and types of the disease, actual exophthalmometric measurements have been made in 126 consecutive thyroid cases attending the Thyroid Clinic. The findings in these, and their significance, form the subject of this report.METHODA modification, or elaboration of the Luedde‡exophthalmometer was employed (figure 1). Actually, two of these instruments, attached parallel to each other, were joined at right angles...References1.
