Abstract

To elucidate the relationship between eye movement and computed tomographic findings, 101 patients with Graves' ophthalmology were studied. Eye movements were scaled 0 to 3 according to movability. Extraocular muscle width and area were calculated from the largest portion of each muscle from the orbital coronal CT sections. Muscle widths were measured manually and muscle areas were calculated by a digitizer. The width and area of each rectus muscle were significantly correlated with limitation of eye movement. The muscle widths and areas were also significantly correlated to each other (r = 0.91 to 0.77, p < 0.001). Limitations of supraduction and abduction from enlargement of the inferior and medial rectus muscles were the most common clinical findings (46.5% and 39.6%, respectively). In conclusion, this study establishes a relationship between limitation of eye movement and extraocular muscle enlargement. Calculation of the width from the largest portion of the muscle manually from orbital coronal section is a simple method for clinical assessment of the severity of extraocular muscle involvement.
