Orbital myositis associated with focal active colitis in a teenage girl

Abstract

Orbital myositis (OM) is an idiopathic inflammation of the extraocular muscles in the absence of thyroid disease. The general clinical presentation is acute orbital pain worsened by eye movements. OM is usually idiopathic; the pathophysiology of the disease depends on an autoimmune reaction against the orbital tissue [1–3]. This clinical condition may be associated with several systemic diseases. We reported a child who presented with focal active colitis associated OM.
