Abstract
Orbital myositis is an inflammatory disorder of the orbital muscles causing orbital pain and restriction of eye movements. Although rare in children, it is most frequently seen after orbital trauma or as a post-infectious pro cess. We describe a child with chronic relapsing psoriasis, juvenile psoria tic arthritis and relapsing bilateral orbital myositis.
