In the last 3-4 decades, along with Graves (or benign) exophthalmos, the so-called malignant or progressive exophthalmos has been distinguished as an independent nosological unit. There is also an opinion that there is no clear border between them, and the difference lies only in the degree of manifestation of changes. In the differential diagnosis of malignant exophthalmos from thyrotoxic, the detection of increased intraocular pressure during tonometry during the period of looking upward helps (Draeger, Schneider, 1963).
