title: Malignant bilateral exophthalmos and secondary glaucoma in iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome.
abstract: The authors describe a case of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome in which an emergency orbital decompression was performed. This procedure was necessary because major ocular hypertension and severe bilateral exophthalmos had caused a decrease in visual function and recurrent painful episodes of eyeball luxation.
