Orbital fat prolapse and Graves' ophthalmopathy

We report two cases of orbital fat prolapse. One associated with Graves' ophthalmopathy. Both patients presented similar clinical exams and an increase in intraorbital fat as seen in computerized orbital tomography. The patient with Graves' ophthalmopathy also presented an increased volume in orbital muscles in the tomography. This work seeks to include Graves' ophthalmopathy as differential diagnosys for Orbital fat prolapse.
