  • Title: Dexamethasone-induced exophthalmos in a group of Holstein calves.
    Author: Townsend WM, Renninger M, Stiles J, Townsend JR, Krohne SG.
    Journal: Vet Ophthalmol; 2003 Sep; 6(3):265-8. PubMed ID: 12950659.
    Abstract:
    Six Holstein calves were evaluated for progressive exophthalmos. The affected calves were receiving daily injections of dexamethasone (30 microg/kg subcutaneously twice daily) as part of a metabolic study. The control calves did not exhibit exophthalmos. The ocular examinations were normal except for the exophthalmos, which ranged from mild to marked in severity. Upon postmortem examination, marked deposition of retrobulbar adipose tissue was noted in the affected calves. Dexamethasone administration appears to increase deposition of retrobulbar adipose tissue resulting in a progressive exophthalmos.
