Abstract :
[en] The determination of the ocular rigidity in endocrine exophthalmus has a practical importance: it seems to be a help for the differential diagnosis between thyreotoxic and thyreotropic exophthalmus. It is also important for an exact measurement of the optical pressure and for the discovery of hypertension which frequently accompanies this affection. © 1957 S. Karger AG, Basel.
