Ocular muscle diseases fall into two distinct groups: acute or subacute exophthalmic myositis and chronic oligosymptomatic myositis. The diagnosis can only be established with certainty by means of B-scan sonography and CT scanning; these examinations demonstrate the irregular thickening of one or several eye muscles. The disease is apparently primitive; in some cases concomitant autoimmune factors may be found. The course is spontaneous, with continual recurrence, and may have sequelae in the form of a definitive exophthalmos or an acquired retraction syndrome. It responds remarkably well to corticotherapy and, if necessary, immunosuppressors; in general, these lead to rapid and - if treatment is started in time - total regression of the disease.
急性或亚急性眼球突出性肌炎和慢性轻症性肌炎。只有通过B超扫描和CT扫描才能确切地做出诊断；这些检查可显示一条或多条眼肌的不规则增厚。该疾病显然是原发性的；在某些情况下可能会发现伴有自身免疫因素。病程呈自发性，会持续复发，并且可能会出现永久性眼球突出或获得性眼球后缩综合征等后遗症。它对皮质激素疗法以及必要时使用的免疫抑制剂反应非常良好；一般来说，这些治疗会使疾病迅速消退——如果及时开始治疗，疾病会完全消退。
