“…7 There are few associations between orbital myositis and Behçet's disease, as mentioned in Table 1. 7,8,11,[12][13][14] It is rarely reported as an initial manifestation of Behçet's disease, as illustrated in our case. 7,13,14 To the best of our knowledge, this is the fourth reported case of Behçet's disease caused by an inflammatory orbital pseudotumor.…”

Objective To provide an original observation of Behçet’s disease, revealed by an inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit. Methods We reported an observation of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit that revealed Behçet’s disease. Results Twenty-Eight years old patient was admitted to the internal medicine department for painful edema in the right eye with headache and loss of visual acuity. Ophthalmologic examination revealed eye protrusion with conjunctival hyperemia. Orbital MRI resonance imaging revealed periorbital inflammatory thickening associated with inflammatory myositis. Behçet’s was diagnosed based on a history of recurrent oral aphthous since childhood, pseudofolliculitis, pathergy test positivity, and negativity of the rest of the etiological investigations. The evolution was spectacular with boli methylprednisolone and colchicine prescriptions. Conclusion Although the association is rare, Behçet’s disease should be included in the workup of inflammatory pseudotumors of the orbit.

Introduction There are some inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic diseases affecting the extrinsic orbital musculature (EOM) that present with pain, decreased visual acuity, and proptosis. Imaging is fundamental to the differential diagnoses of these diseases with similar clinical presentations. The present case series report has as main objective to illustrate and discuss the main pathologies that affect the orbit. Material and methods The present series of cases discusses the main pathologies that can affect the extraocular musculature that can be characterized by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using cases from our institution. Results and Discussion The present study compiled several cases of ophthalmopathy from our institution to illustrate and address some of these pathologies, such as orbital lymphoma, Grave disease, metastases, periorbital cellulitis, and idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome. The diseases are discussed according to the presentation of clinical cases with emphasis on the main imaging findings of each pathology. Conclusion Computed tomography and MRI can help in the diagnosis and follow-up of the diseases that affect the EOM. We must be conversant with the main characteristics of the pathologies presented in the present case series report, since such findings together with clinical data can confirm the diagnosis of these diseases or at least help to narrow the differential diagnoses.
