Quadriceps sparing myopathy.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proven to be a useful tool in the evaluation of myopathy. Myopathic changes secondary to processes such as inflammatory disease, neuropathy, and neuromuscular disorders often involve several muscle groups. We describe a unique case of lower extremity myopathy with sparing of the quadriceps muscle group on MRI evaluation.
