Bilateral extraocular muscles enlargement from Kimura's disease of the orbit
Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of unclear etiology, characterized by subcutaneous nodules, mainly in the head and neck region, frequently associated with regional lymphadenopathy. Orbital involvement is infrequent and when it occurs, usually affects the eyelid or the lacrimal gland. We report a case of a 44-year-old man that presented with bilateral slowly progress...
متن کاملNeurophysiology of extraocular muscles.
E. lye movements may be divided grossly into "tonic" and "phasic" movements. Are both of these principal types produced by the same motor nerves and muscle fibers, or are separate systems present that are functionally suited to each of the types of movements? Morphological and physiological studies demonstrate that at least two and possibly three neuromuscular systems are present in eye muscles...
متن کاملSinus arrest during treatment with amiodarone.
effect shown in highly selected subgroups of patients cannot, however, be extrapolated to other groups of patients, although other studies, including those with a wider, less selected population,9 12 indicate that even low-risk patients may profit from long-term beta-adrenoceptor blockade. There has been much debate about analysis, presentation, and interpretation of beta-blocker post-infarctio...
متن کاملLocal deformation of extraocular muscles during eye movement.
PURPOSE To study extraocular muscle (EOM) function, the local physiologic contraction and elongation (deformation) along human horizontal EOMs were quantified by using motion-encoded magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Eleven subjects (healthy right eye) gazed at a target that moved horizontally in a sinusoidal fashion (period, 2 seconds; amplitude, +/-20 degrees), during MRI with an op...
متن کاملTreatment of amiodarone induced hyperthyroidism with potassium perchlorate and methimazole during amiodarone treatment.
To exploit the antiarrhythmic effect of amiodarone when patients develop the side effect of thyrotoxicosis three patients with hyperthyroidism induced by amiodarone were given simultaneously 1 g potassium perchlorate a day for 40 days and a starting dose of 40 mg methimazole a day while they continued to take amiodarone. As hyperthyroidism might have recurred after potassium perchlorate treatme...
