J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1988 Jan-Feb;12(1):49-51. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198801000-00009.

Abstract

Two cases of CT-documented extraocular muscle atrophy are presented. Unilateral atrophy was observed in a patient with a lesion of the cavernous sinus. Atrophic extraocular muscles were noted bilaterally in a young woman with "ophthalmoplegia plus" (probable Kearns-Sayre syndrome).
