Sumario: | Extraocular muscle enlargement can occur secondary to a range of orbital and systemic diseases. Although the most common cause of extraocular muscle enlargement is thyroid eye disease, a range of other inflammatory, infective, neoplastic, and vascular conditions can alter the size and shape of the extraocular muscles.

This article provides an image-rich review of the wide range of pathology that can cause enlargement of the extraocular muscles. |
