The authors present a case of acute bilateral orbital myositis occurring 24 hours after the administration of the mRNA1273 vaccination for COVID 19. The patient was presented with right proptosis, with orbital imaging demonstrating bilateral enlargement of all the extraocular muscles. Serological investigation did not reveal a precipitating cause or underlying disease process. The presenting features resolved entirely following treatment with methylprednisolone and the patient remains asymptomatic.
