Various atypical presentations have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of orbital myositis presenting with acute and devastating ocular symptoms resembling orbital cellulitis in a 12-year-old boy with familial Mediterranean fever.Keywords: Familial Mediterranean fever, Eye involvement, Orbital myositisKeywords : Ailevi Akdeniz ateşi, Göz tutulumu, Orbital myozit
