The authors describe a case of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome in which an emergency orbital decompression was performed. This procedure was necessary because major ocular hypertension and severe bilateral exophthalmos had caused a decrease in visual function and recurrent painful episodes of eyeball luxation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the incidence of the prostaglandin-associated periorbital syndrome (PAPS) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension after using topical prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) for 3-6 months.
- Among the 55 patients studied, key indicators such as interpupillary distance and exophthalmos were measured, alongside subjective assessments of periocular changes, showing significant changes primarily at the 1 and 3-month marks.
- Results indicated that bimatoprost resulted in the highest incidence of PAPS, with noticeable periorbital changes like eyelash growth and hyperpigmentation increasing over time.

At the same time, hyperthyroidism, particularly in the context of thyroid storm (TS), can also lead to IS through mechanisms related and unrelated to atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the coexistence of CAD and thyrotoxicosis is extremely rare.
