Key result
Computed tomography of skeletal muscles in patients with pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy demonstrated distinct patterns of muscle alterations and pseudohypertrophy.
Why the study?
What are the computed tomography findings of skeletal muscles in patients with pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy?
What are the computed tomography findings of skeletal muscles in patients with pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy?
CT scans can identify different patterns of muscle alterations and pseudohypertrophy in patients with pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy, which may aid clinical examination, electromyography, and needle biopsy.
CT patterns of pseudohypertrophy may refine dystrophy assessment; leaves open integration with EMG or biopsy.
Computed tomography (CT) scans of skeletal muscles of 3 patients with pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy are presented. Different patterns of muscle alterations and particularly of pseudohypertrophy are described. The significance of the radiological findings for clinical examination, electromyography, and needle biopsy is discussed.
