Diagnosis of orbital myositis by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.
Two cases of orbital myositis are reported in which precise identification of the involved muscle was possible with the use of surface coil nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging. A clinical response to oral steroids in both cases coincided with a marked reduction in the abnormal thickening of the muscles as seen on the NMR images.
