Conjunctival congestion has been reported as the most common ophthalmic manifestation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, affecting 18.4%-31.6% of patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Orbital inflammatory disease has been rarely reported in association with COVID-19 infection, with only 2 case reports of adolescent patients having been recently published. We present a unique case of orbital myositis in a 10-year-old boy who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection in the absence of typical systemic COVID-19 manifestations. Although it is uncertain whether SARS-CoV-2 infection triggered the inflammation or was coincidental, the possible association of the events is concerning.
结膜充血是严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)感染最常见的眼部表现,影响 18.4%-31.6%的 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者。与 COVID-19 感染相关的眼眶炎症性疾病很少见,仅有 2 例青少年患者的病例报告最近发表。我们报告了一例 10 岁男孩的眼眶肌炎的独特病例,该男孩 SARS-CoV-2 感染检测呈阳性,但无典型的全身 COVID-19 表现。尽管尚不确定 SARS-CoV-2 感染是否引发了炎症,或者是否只是巧合,但这些事件的可能关联令人担忧。
