This report presents a unique case of recurrent idiopathic inferior oblique myositis (IOM) with a focus on clinico-radiological characteristics and histological features. A woman in her early 40s presented with a third episode of IOM following a 12-year period of quiescence. The first two episodes were characterised by unilateral IOM with rapid resolution following oral prednisone treatment. MRI revealed anterior focal enlargement of the left inferior oblique muscle with ipsilateral lacrimal gland enlargement. An inferior oblique muscle and lacrimal gland biopsy demonstrated significant inflammatory infiltrate. An intraorbital injection of triamcinolone acetonide was administered with complete resolution of symptoms within 1 week.

Purpose: To study the feasibility and value of assessing patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO) in 99mTc-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) orbital single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) with extraocular muscle maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax).
Methods: A total of 235 patients underwent 99mTc-DTPA orbital SPECT/CT, including 176 patients with GO and 59 patients with Graves' disease (GD) as controls. The SUVmax of extraocular muscles, including right medial rectus muscle (RMR), right lateral rectus muscle (RLR), left medial rectus muscle (LMR), left lateral rectus muscle (LLR), was compared between groups, correlation analyses with clinical activity scores (CAS) and serological indices was performed, and the diagnostic efficacy was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves.
The Utility of Preoperative Phenylephrine Testing in Müller Muscle Conjunctival Resection Surgery for Involutional Ptosis.

Division of Orbital and Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery, Jules Stein Eye Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Purpose: Phenylephrine testing prior to Müller muscle conjunctival resection has traditionally been used to predict postoperative outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine if preoperative phenylephrine testing impacts postoperative changes in eyelid position.
Methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional cohort study, 270 eyelids of participants with involutional ptosis and levator function >12 mm who underwent Müller muscle conjunctival resection were divided into 2 comparison groups.

Vertebrates stabilize gaze using a neural circuit that transforms sensed instability into compensatory counterrotation of the eyes. Sensory feedback tunes this vestibulo-ocular reflex throughout life. We studied the functional development of vestibulo-ocular reflex circuit components in the larval zebrafish, with and without sensation.
