Restrictive myopic myopathy: computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, echography, and histological findings.

Abstract

Restrictive ocular motility disturbances associated with high myopia (myopic myopathy) is a rarely seen phenomenon.Though the exact aetiology of myopic myopathy (MM) is not known, progressive neurogenic palsy,'2 structural changes of muscles,3 paralysis,4 and myositis' are suggested as the cause of MM.A case of MM with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), echographic findings, and histological examination of medial recti is reported.
