Orbital myositis (OM) is defined as a nonspecific localized orbital inflammatory process in which one or more of the extraocular muscles are involved. Clinically, it is characterized by acute pain exacerbated by eye movements. Diagnosis is based on history, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic response to steroids. Histologically, OM is characterized by polymorphous infiltration of inflammatory cells and varying amounts of fibrosis. Pathogenesis is unknown, but is probably related to underlying immune-mediated processes. Various inflammatory diseases have been associated with OM, and inflammatory bowel disease is an uncommon cause. We describe a patient with recurrent OM and recurrent Crohn's disease.
眼眶肌炎（OM）被定义为一种非特异性局限性眼眶炎症过程，其中一条或多条眼外肌受累。临床上，其特征为眼球运动时加剧的急性疼痛。诊断基于病史、临床表现以及对类固醇的治疗反应。组织学上，眼眶肌炎的特征为炎症细胞的多形性浸润和不同程度的纤维化。发病机制尚不清楚，但可能与潜在的免疫介导过程有关。多种炎症性疾病与眼眶肌炎相关，炎症性肠病是一种不常见的病因。我们描述了一名患有复发性眼眶肌炎和复发性克罗恩病的患者。
