Ocular manifestations, such as orbital myositis, are extremely rare as initial presentations. We present an interesting case of a 10-year-old female who presented with fever, abdominal pain, weight loss, diarrhea, and purulent rectal drainage and was subsequently diagnosed with Crohn\u2019s disease. Notably, she had been diagnosed with orbital myositis the previous year after presenting with right-greater-than-left eyelid drooping, swelling, pain, and redness. This case underscores the importance of recognizing the rare yet clinically significant association between orbital myositis and Crohn\u2019s disease. Awareness of this relationship may facilitate prompt diagnosis and earlier therapeutic intervention, potentially preventing disease progression or complications. Clinicians should consider inflammatory bowel disease in their differential diagnosis workup of patients presenting with initial symptoms concerning for orbital myositis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2050313x261436111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,4]],"date-time":"2026-05-04T07:45:32Z","timestamp":1777880732000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Orbital myositis last year and now Crohn\u2019s disease: A case report of a rare association"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6014-9574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alisha","family":"Patel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Beltran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Children\u2019s Hospital of Georgia, Wellstar MCG Health, Augusta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nirupma","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Children\u2019s Hospital of Georgia, Wellstar MCG Health, Augusta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julisa","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Children\u2019s Hospital of Georgia, Wellstar MCG Health, Augusta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Allen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Children\u2019s Hospital of Georgia, Wellstar MCG Health, Augusta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pop.2023.03.009"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","first-page":"661","article-title":"Crohn\u2019s disease: diagnosis and management","volume":"98","author":"Veauthier B","year":"2018","unstructured":"Veauthier B, Hornecker JR.
