Orbital myositis, an inflammation of eye muscles, can present with varied symptoms. This case highlights the importance of rapid diagnosis and treatment for this orbital pseudotumor subgroup.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Orbital myositis is a subset of orbital pseudotumor, primarily involving inflammation of extraocular muscles.
  • It presents as a significant cause of acute orbital inflammation.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old patient experienced acute proptosis, ocular pain, and ophthalmoplegia.
  • Orbital CT revealed enlarged homolateral extraocular muscles.

Findings:

  • While compatible with orbital myositis, atypical features like retinal central vein occlusion, optic nerve lesion, and superior ophthalmic vein/cavernous sinus distension prompted differential diagnoses.
  • Cavernous sinus pathology and thyroid ophthalmopathy were considered.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the necessity of prompt diagnosis and intervention in managing orbital myositis.
