Pyomyositis is a rare condition which occurs most often in large skeletal muscles. Pyomyositis of extraocular muscles is a very rare entity. The authors describe a case of 2 sites of pyomyositis of extraocular muscles. A 20-year-old man presented with right periocular pain, redness, and proptosis for 1 week.Computed tomography showed well-circumscribed masses with enhancing rims in the medial and inferior rectus muscles. The patient underwent orbital drainage surgery and received an intravenous antibiotic. Haemoculture and pus culture could not identify an organism. Systemic steroid was administered after the infection was controlled, in regard to scar prevention.
