Exophthalmos:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The obvious effect is a bulging eyeball, commonly with diplopia, if extraocular muscle edema causes misalignment. (See Recognizing exophthalmos.) A rim of the sclera may be visible below the upper lid as lid retraction occurs, and the patient may blink infrequently. Other symptoms depend on the cause: pain may accompany traumatic exophthalmos; a tumor may produce conjunctival hyperemia or chemosis; retraction of the upper lid predisposes to exposure keratitis. If exophthalmos is associated with cavernous sinus thrombosis, the patient may exhibit paresis of the muscles supplied by cranial nerves III, IV, and VI; limited ocular movement; and a septic-type (high) fever.

Simple goiter:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Thyroid enlargement may range from a mildly enlarged gland to a massive, multinodular goiter. (See Massive goiter, page 840.) Because simple goiter doesn’t alter the patient’s metabolic state, clinical features arise solely from enlargement of the thyroid gland. The patient may complain of respiratory distress and dysphagia from compression of the trachea and esophagus, and swelling and distention of the neck. In addition, large goiters may obstruct venous return, produce venous engorgement and, in rare cases, induce development of collateral venous circulation in the chest. Obstruction may cause dizziness or syncope (Pemberton’s sign) when the patient raises her arms above her head.
