Abstract
We present a first case of 58-year-old man with vision loss in a biopsy-proven idiopathic inflammatory orbital tendon sparing myositis. Tests for thyroid autoantibodies were negative at the initial presentation and at 10-month follow-up period. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathological examination and was also supported by avid sarcolemmal staining for MHC-1 and MHC-2.
