Recurrent Orbital Myositis: A Case Report

Abstract

Nonspesific orbital inflammatory syndromes (orbital pseudotumor) are a heterogeneous group of conditions. Orbital myositis is a subtype of this group involving one or more orbital muscles. It is quite rare in children. Corticosteroids are the mainstay of therapy. Therapeutic alternatives such as radiotherapy and immune suppressive therapy are experimented in refractory patients. Spontaneous remissions are infrequently reported.
