Abstract
- Purpose: To describe a case of familial Paget disease of bone associated with bilateral enophthalmos and mild exposure keratopathy.<br />Methods: Case report and literature review.<br />Results: A 71-year-old woman with familial Paget disease of bone had a long history of "receding eyes," headaches, and moderately dry eyes. She had bilateral enophthalmos with mild exposure keratopathy. Radiologic and endocrinologic investigation confirmed Paget disease of bone affecting the skull.<br />Conclusions: Enophthalmos in association with Paget disease of bone is rare and is likely to result from differential expansion of the cranium compared with the orbital bones.
