Idiopathic Orbital Myositis

Orbital Myositis and Strabismus: Clinical Profile, Management, and Predictive Factors for Recurrence

“…Orbital myositis affects all ages and genders, but predominantly women in their fourth or fifth decade, aligning with our study cohort 3,8,18. Pediatric cases were rarer in our cohort, similar to Mannor et al's findings5 and other case series 15,20. Earlier unilateral acute involvement classically suggests orbital myositis3,8,15,21; however, in recent studies variable presentation with multiple extraocular muscle and bilateral involvement was noted in orbital myositis 14.…”

Orbital myositis and rheumatoid arthritis: case report

“…The most common causes of orbital myositis are: endocrine diseases (in particular Grave's disease) 1 , orbital tumors, connective tissue disorders, infections [2][3][4] , vaccine 5 , cystic lesions 6 , rippling muscle disease 7 and Brown's syndrome, which is characterized by paralysis of the superior oblique muscle, always in an unilateral way but very frequently relapsing. In the past almost every inflammatory process of orbit was classified as a pseudotumor but this term has not been more used so frequently [8][9][10][11][12] . We reviewed 156 cases published in the last 25 years.…”

Postoperative myositis in reoperated extraocular muscles

“…The etiology is unknown, although immunologic mechanisms have been postulated. 4,5 Clinical findings include orbital pain, eyelid swelling, focal hyperemia and chemosis over the affected muscle, and limitation of extraocular motility in the field of action of the affected muscle or in the opposite field. The diagnosis can be made on clinical grounds and confirmed by CT evidence of an enlarged extraocular muscle and rapid response to corticosteroids.…”
