Tendon-Sparing Extraocular Muscle Enlargement Associated With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy.
Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 2023 October 5
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an inflammatory, sensorimotor polyneuropathy. It has presented with a variety of orbital and neuro-ophthalmic manifestations, including cranial nerve hypertrophy and a single case of extraocular muscle enlargement. The authors present a second case of tendon-sparing, extraocular muscle enlargement, resulting in new-onset diplopia and strabismus in a teenager with CIDP. The workup ruled out alternative causes of extraocular muscle enlargement, such as hyperthyroidism, inflammation, or malignancy. As with other cases of CIDP, management involved a combination of immunoglobulin therapy and anti-inflammatory medications. The patient experienced resolution of his symptoms, and radiologic improvement was noted in the muscle enlargement. As many CIDP patients have a favorable treatment response and long-term prognosis, awareness of this rare disease with an early and accurate diagnosis is important.
