  • a rare case of posttraumatic bilateral Orbital Myositis in a young boy a case report
    Ophthalmology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Ahmad Halawa, Mahmoud Al Salem, Robert Rejdak, Rashed Mustafa Nazzal
    Abstract:

    Orbital Myositis (OM) is a benign inflammatory disease of the orbit characterised by a polymorphous lymphoid infiltrate with varying degrees of fibrosis, without a known local or systemic cause. In this paper, we present a case of a young boy who sustained a trauma to his eyes a few days prior to admission, after which he developed bilateral Orbital pain and ocular motility limitation. He underwent the appropriate investigations including Orbital imaging and blood laboratory workup, which were all consistent with a diagnosis of posttraumatic bilateral Orbital Myositis. He was treated with steroids for few weeks, and when the dose of steroids was tapered, he had a relapse of the same disease with a different presentation, which was later controlled with a higher dose of steroids, after which the patient went into remission.

  • Presumed isolated inflammation of the superior oblique muscle in idiopathic Orbital Myositis
    Ophthalmology, 1998
    Co-Authors: D.brian Stidham, Naval Sondhi, David A. Plager, Eugene M. Helveston
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective To describe isolated involvement of the superior oblique muscle in association with idiopathic Orbital Myositis. Design A case report with review of the literature. Participant A 57-year-old man with acquired strabismus participated. Intervention Oral steroid therapy was administered. Main outcome measures Clinical and radiographic features before and after treatment were measured. Results Computed tomographic scanning showed isolated enlargement of the superior oblique muscle consistent with Orbital Myositis. Clinical and radiographic abnormalities quickly improved after oral steroid therapy. Conclusions Orbital pseudotumor may present as a Myositis isolated to the superior oblique muscle. This extremely rare condition has been reported in only three patients, each of whom lacked early diagnosis or treatment. Early recognition may improve chances for a successful clinical outcome.

  • Orbital Myositis posing as cluster headache
    JAMA Neurology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Michael S Lee, Simmons Lessell
    Abstract:

    Objective To describe the case of a patient with recurrent Orbital Myositis who was thought to have cluster headaches for 6 years. Design and Setting Case report in an outpatient neuro-ophthalmology clinic. Patient A 24-year-old man developed unilateral supraOrbital pain, lacrimation, conjunctival hyperemia, nasal congestion, proptosis, and painful eye movements. The pain intensity varied over the course of each day and disappeared after 1 month. He had multiple attacks responsive to prednisone that were separated by months over the ensuing 6 years. Neuroimaging revealed an enlarged extraocular muscle. Conclusions Overlap in symptoms between recurrent Orbital Myositis and cluster headache delayed the diagnosis in this patient. Orbital Myositis should be considered in patients with atypical cluster headache characterized by proptosis, painful eye movements, and pain that does not completely resolve after 3 hours.
