title: [Monolateral autoimmune exophthalmos in an euthyroid woman].
abstract: So-called "endocrine" ophthalmopathy may arise even in the absence of thyroid disorders since although these two nosographic and clinical conditions are both linked to closely inter-related organ-specific auto-immune responses, they may also present independently. After a review of the two clinical conditions, the case of an autoimmune ophthalmopathy unaccompanied, at least during a long observation period, by demonstrable functional thyroid alterations is reported. The case was also unusual because only one eye was affected.
