Möbius sign

The Möbius sign is a typical symptom of endocrine orbitopathy . It describes a pathological weakness in convergence of the eyes. In clinical practice, a quantified determination of the near convergence point can be made in order to document changes in findings. The sign was named after the German neurologist Paul Julius Möbius (1853–1907), who first described this symptom.

Other clinical signs of endocrine orbithopathy are the Graefe sign , the Dalrymple sign , the Kocher sign and the Stellwag sign .
