Abstract
We describe a 39-year-old Japanese man with rippling muscle disease who carried a novel homozygous mutation (Trp70 to a stop codon) in the caveolin-3 gene. The patient also had extraocular muscle paresis showing atrophy of the extraocular muscles on orbital MRI. The involvement of the extraocular muscles of patients with caveolinopathy is discussed.
