Extra-intestinal manifestations (EIM) of Crohn's disease (CD) affect up to 35% of patients and the presence of one EIM appears to be a predisposing factor for others. Orbital myositis (OM) is a subgroup of idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome involving one or more extra-ocular muscles and is described as a very rare EIM of CD.We present the case of a 55-year-old woman, with Crohn's colitis since 1995, stricturing behavior, with type 2 arthrop-athy. She underwent a sigmoidectomy in 2004 for a 7-cm stenosis (histology of the surgical piece compatible with Crohn's stenosis). She was treated with sulfasalazine and had no history of steroid therapy or other immunosuppressant therapy.
