PURPOSE: To describe a case of myositis in the presence of a Baerveldt glaucoma implant. METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: A 41-year-old black woman developed myositis after placement of a Baerveldt glaucoma implant. Echography demonstrated migration of the seton plate against the medial rectus muscle insertion. Myositis resolved after removal of the Baerveldt glaucoma implant. CONCLUSION: The Baerveldt glaucoma implant may have precipitated myositis in this patient.
