Abstract:

The authors describe the clinical, histologic, and serologic findings of a patient with necrotizing myositis of the extraocular muscles in the setting of antisynthetase syndrome, as well as subsequent management. This is the first case in the literature of a systemic necrotizing myositis to have associated ophthalmic findings.
