Computerized tomographic findings in two cases of congenital fibrosis syndrome.
Two patients with congenital ptosis and extraocular muscle fibrosis are described. The first patient showed marked atrophy of the left inferior rectus muscle. The second patient showed bilateral changes in all extraocular muscles. Computed tomographic evaluation of the extraocular muscles was performed in both patients. The characteristic changes of this phenomenon were seen in both individuals and solidified the diagnosis.
