In order to evaluate the predictibility of the results in the treatment of myopathy in cases with the clinical signs of muscle involvement, 177 extraocular muscles of 27 cases whose oedematous status was detected by MRI and who were given antiinflammatory treatment according to the data of this method, were studied.
