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.
