Utstående øyne (eksoftalmus): Diagnosen

Innhold i artikkelen

Diagnosen stilles på grunnlag av det man ser. At øynene er mer fremstående, at øyespalten - avstanden mellom øvre og nedre øyelokk - er videre enn normalt. Dette kombinert med eventuelle ubehag som du kan berette om - både fra øynene og mer generelt - og påvisning av forhøyet tyroksin, gir diagnosen. Som ledd i den videre utredningen kan det være aktuelt å gjøre en CT-undersøkelse.
