Eyelid retraction (ELR), indicates widening of the palpebral opening with white parts of the sclera appearing above and, often, below the limbus. ELR was indicated with different and controversial eponyms including Graefe’s, pseudo-Graefe’s, Stellwag’s, or Dalrymple’s sign [1], which were, however, originally ascribed to endocrinological conditions [1, 2]. Dalrymple’s, Stellwag’s and Graefe’s signs are typical of Grave’s disease: the first indicating retraction of the upper eyelid, causing abnormal wideness of the palpebral fissure, the second infrequent or incomplete blinking, the third tardy or jerky downward movement of the upper eyelids when the gaze is directed downward.
