Multifocal extraocular muscle pyomyositis: A case report and review of literature

Extraocular muscle enlargement can occur secondary to a range of orbital and systemic diseases. Although the most common cause of extraocular muscle enlargement is thyroid eye disease, a range of other inflammatory, infective, neoplastic, and vascular conditions can alter the size and shape of the extraocular muscles. Imaging with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging plays an essential role in the workup of these conditions. This article provides an image-rich review of the wide range of pathology that can cause enlargement of the extraocular muscles.
