Nonthyropathic exophthalmos.

Abstract

Although most cases of bilateral exophthalmos and many cases of unilateral exophthalmos are related to hyperthyroidism, there are numerous other diagnostic possibilities. These include tumors, hemorrhage, vascular anomalies and infections. Exophthalmometric measurements are useful in diagnosis and follow-up. The determination of a nonthyroidal etiology for exophthalmos may require sophisticated radiologic and other techniques, as well as a team approach.

New distinct lethal osteosclerotic bone dysplasia (Raine syndrome).

We report a third case of a rare neonatal lethal sclerotic bone disorder with distinct craniofacial anomalies and striking radiographic and hitherto undescribed histopathologic features. The remarkable similarity between our patient and 2 recently reported infants suggests strongly a distinct entity. We propose the term Raine syndrome as a convenient identification of this disorder.
