Orbital myositis is a common cause of extraocular muscle enlargement. It is characterized by nonspecific inflammation of one or more extraocular muscles. Although often idiopathic in origin, orbital myositis has been associated with various noninfectious diseases. Several cases have also been reported as occurring after upper respiratory tract infections. The present report describes a case of orbital myositis together with subclinical sinusitis and its rapid resolution after antibiotic treatment. The literature on this clinical entity is also reviewed.
眼眶肌炎是眼外肌肿大的常见原因。其特征为一条或多条眼外肌的非特异性炎症。尽管眼眶肌炎通常病因不明,但它与多种非感染性疾病有关。也有几例报告称在上呼吸道感染后发生。本报告描述了一例眼眶肌炎合并亚临床鼻窦炎以及抗生素治疗后迅速缓解的病例。同时也对关于这一临床实体的文献进行了综述。
