[Idiopathic orbital myositis].
Orbital myositis is a rare disorder considered as a subgroup of inflammatory orbital pseudotumors. The pathophysiology is still unknown. Patients typically present with orbital pain exacerbated by eye movement and diplopia. Response to steroids is dramatic. We report a case of idiopathic myositis of the right inferior muscle, which recovered after steroid therapy.
