Abstract

A case is presented of orbital myositis with acute sclerotenonitis shown by the very severe fibrous reactions which had spread to the sclera and to Tenon's capsule. Corticosteroid therapy, applied when the second eye became involved, rapidly gave a favourable result; the patient soon recovered but his vision remained impaired.
