ABSTRACT
A 65-year-old woman developed progressive, bilateral ophthalmoplegia, with thickened extraocular muscles on CT. One month later, a cardiac arrhythmia led to her death. Pathologically, the extraocular and skeletal muscles showed diffuse mononuclear cell inflammation, while the heart contained granulomatous myositis. This patient's syndrome of idiopathic, orbital myositis and giant cell myocarditis may be a distinct nosologic entity.
