[Changes in the ocular muscles in progressive scleroderma (author's transl)].
One patient out of 13 with generalized scleroderma displayed related changes of ocular motility. Histologic examination of the external ocular muscles of one of our patients who had died, revealed a massive increase of the interstitial collagen, and various stages of muscular degeneration. These changes correspond closely with the histopathological findings in the myocardium.
