What is Dejean's syndrome?

Dejean's syndrome is a condition in which there is a pulsation of the eyeballs, usually behind the eye. This is accompanied by nausea, dizziness and pain. This is a rare disease that is diagnosed by ophthalmologists. Its causes are problems of the circulatory system or tumors.
