The eponymous Dalrymple's sign is named after him, which is an abnormal wideness of the palpebral fissures in exophthalmic goiter.

In the orbit, the surrounding fascia allows for smooth rotation and protects the orbital contents. If excessive tissue accumulates behind the ocular globe, the eye can protrude, or become exophthalmic. Tear system: a. tear gland / lacrimal gland, b.

Carl Adolph von Basedow Carl Adolph von Basedow (28 March 1799 – 11 April 1854) was a German physician most famous for reporting the symptoms of what could later be dubbed Graves-Basedow disease, now technically known as exophthalmic goiter.

As a result, on the European Continent, the terms Basedow's syndrome, Basedow's disease, or Morbus Basedow, pages 82, 294, and 295. are more common than Graves' disease. – the history and naming of the disease Graves' disease has also been called exophthalmic goiter.

Charles Abadie (1842-1932) at data.bnf.fr Abadie was involved in developing treatments for glaucoma and trachoma, and discovered a diagnostic sign for exophthalmic goiter, which is known as "Abadie's sign". He also introduced the practice of injecting alcohol into the Gasserian ganglion as a treatment for trigeminal neuralgia.

Abadie's sign of exophthalmic goiter is a medical sign characterized by spasm of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle with retraction of the upper lid (so that sclera is visible above cornea) seen in Graves-Basedow disease which, together with exophthalmos causes the bulging eyes appearance. It is named for Jean Marie Charles Abadie.

Dr. Walters said it was "inflammatory rheumatism". He later added that she also had an exophthalmic goitre. She died of inflammatory rheumatism, at her home at ʻĀinahau, on Monday, March 6, 1899, at the age of 23. Later, George W. Macfarlane, a family friend and King Kalākaua's chamberlain, told a reporter from the San Francisco Call that the princess possibly died of a broken heart.

Dalrymple's sign is a widened palpebral (eyelid) opening, or eyelid spasm, seen in thyrotoxicosis (as seen in Graves' disease, exophthalmic Goitre and other hyperthyroid conditions), causing abnormal wideness of the palpebral fissure. As a result of the retraction of the upper eyelid, the white of the sclera is visible at the upper margin of the cornea in direct outward stare.Cline D; Hofstetter HW; Griffin JR. Dictionary of Visual Science. 4th ed.

Critics praise her handling of light and restrained though rich colour, proof that she could have been a major landscape painter if she chose. In 1930, Muntz was ill and dying of Exophthalmic Goitre brought on partly by overwork and worry about the family responsibilities she had assumed fifteen years earlier. Despite these trying personal circumstances, she continued to paint until her death in 1930. Lyall is interred in the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto.

Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis is an ocular disease characterized by episodes of recurrent inflammation of the superior cornea and limbus, as well as of the superior tarsal and bulbar conjunctiva. Even though the pathophysiology remains unclear, it is thought that mechanical trauma from tight upper lids or loose redundant conjunctiva could lead to the disruption of normal epithelium. This mechanical hypothesis is supported by the increased lid apposition of exophthalmic thyroid patients, who are known to have an increased incidence of superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis. Patients present with red eye, burning, tearing, foreign body sensation, mild photophobia.

James Begbie 10 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh The grave of Dr James Begbie, New Calton Cemetery, Edinburgh James Begbie FRSE FRCPE FRCSE (1798, Edinburgh – 26 August 1869, Edinburgh) was a Scottish medical doctor who served as president of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Edinburgh (1850–2) and as president of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (1854–6). He was among the first physicians to give a detailed description of exophthalmic goitre, currently known as Graves disease (previously called Basedow's syndrome or Begbie's disease). He is also related to the study of Dubini's disease, the old name for myoclonic epidemic encephalitis.James Begbie, WhoNamedIt.com.

Oliver was not slow to try adrenal extracts in patients, orally again and rather indiscriminately, from Addison's disease, hypotension (″loss of vasomotor tone″), Diabetes mellitus and Diabetes insipidus to Graves' disease (″exophthalmic goitre″). It seems he adhered to contemporary ideas of organotherapy, believing that powerful substances existed in tissues and ought to be discovered for medicinal use. In fact he immediately went on to extract the pituitary gland and, again with Schäfer, discovered vasopressin. In 1903 adrenaline, meanwhile purified, was first used in asthma. The use was based, not on the bronchodilator effect, which was discovered later, but on the vasoconstrictor effect, which was hoped to alleviate the “turgidity of the bronchial mucosa” – presumably vascular congestion and edema.

By extension, this sense could be applied to sculpture, pottery, or other objects of great antiquity. It was in this sense of "indistinctness due to wear or through long use" that the great French internist Armand Trousseau (1801–67) first employed the term in connection with an obscured form of Graves' disease, which he described as a "…maladie dite fruste par l’absence du goitre et de l’exophthalmie" ("…disease said to be crude [i.e., indistinct] for its absence of goiter and exophthalmia")Eulenberg, A., (1910), “The Present Status of Graves' Disease (Exophthalmic Goiter. Basedow’s Disease)”; In: Church, Archibald, editor (1910), Diseases of the Nervous System (Series: Modern Clinical Medicine); Translation of German original; New York City and London: D. Appleton and Company, pp 961-962.
