Bilateral idiopathic orbital myositis in an infant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Idiopathic orbital myositis is an unspecific isolated inflammation of extra-ocular muscles. It is uncommon in children, especially in infants, and is a source of real diagnosis problems. We report the case of a 22 months old infant who was admitted for a sudden swollen eyelid with ptosis and painful bilateral eyes exophtalmos. The orbital computed tomography revealed bilateral and diffuse hypertrophy of extra-ocular muscles responsible of bilateral exophthalmos grade III. The etiologic survey was negative, thus the diagnosis of idiopathic myositis was kept. The patient recovered completely with corticosteroids. Through this case we describe the clinical, radiological, and treatment of idiopathic orbital myositis.
