| description | Episodic periorbital swelling due to presumed orbital inflammation and myositis caused intermittent apparent proptosis and was the presenting symptom of ileocecal Crohn's disease (CD) in a teenage female with a family history of autoimmune disorders and CD. Orbital myositis, a very rare extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), likely represents a process of impaired immunoregulation related to the underlying intestinal inflammation. This rare manifestation of IBD simulates the more commonly encountered thyroid orbitopathy (ophthalmopathy), but IBD should be considered if all thyroid tests are negative. It is important to recognize that orbital myositis may be an extraintestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease so that the diagnosis can be made and appropriate therapy commenced. |
