Pulsating exophthalmos – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1825207679

This is a pulsating bulging of the eye anteriorly out of the orbit. Pulsating exophthalmos can be either bilateral or unilateral, complete or partial. The most common causes include orbital roof fractures, encephalo- or meningoceles, neurosurgical procedures, neurofibromatosis type 1, and vascular malformations (e.g. carotid-cavernous fistula or arteriovenous malformations).
