Intravenous methylprednisolone therapy in orbital myositis A case report

Abstract

We present a 33-year-old man with a seven-year history of lid swelling, conjunctival chemosis and injection, and proptosis in both eyes. Enlargement of all extraocular muscles in both eyes was visualized on MRI. He did not respond to oral prednisone, although the symptoms and the signs resolved promptly with intravenous methyl-prednisolone given after orbital irradiation.
