Intermittent exophthalmos is a rare, but striking and unmistakable, syndrome. It is characterized by pronounced and rapid—almost instantaneous—protrusion of one eye when venous stasis is induced by bending the head forward; by lowering the head; by turning the head forcibly; by hyperextension of the neck; by coughing; by forced expiration, with or without compression of the nostrils, and by pressure on the jugular veins. The ocular protrusion disappears immediately when the head is erect and when artificially induced venous congestion is relieved.
