[Application of A-scan ultrasonography in the diagnosis and treatment of myositis of extraocular muscles (with a report of four cases)].
Four cases of myositis of extraocular muscles were diagnosed by A-scan ultrasonography. The diagnostic criteria were thickening, low reflectivity and homogeneous internal structure of affected muscles. Under the monitor of A-scan ultrasonography all cases were treated with high dose prednisone. Three of the four were cured, and one regressed. Meanwhile, the clinical manifestations and differential diagnosis of the disease are discussed briefly.
