title: Recurrent orbital myositis with radiological feature mimicking thyroid eye disease in a patient with Crohn's disease.
abstract: Orbital myositis is an extremely rare extra-intestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease. Herein we describe a patient with self-limiting episodes of episcleritis and uveitis prior to the diagnosis of Crohn's disease, and subsequent development of recurrent orbital myositis with radiological features mimicking thyroid eye disease.
