Orbital myositis due to Kawasaki's disease.
Kawasaki's disease is an inflammatory syndrome of young children that affects multiple organ systems. The most common ophthalmologic manifestations of Kawasaki's disease are bilateral conjunctival injection and nongranulomatous iridocyclitis. To our knowledge, this patient is the first with Kawasaki's disease to demonstrate extraocular muscle palsy and orbital myositis.
