We report a case of minimal thyroid ophthalmopathy treated with intravenous methylprednisolone, in which precise identification of the involved muscle was possible with the use of surface coil magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Intravenous methylprednisolone was more effective than the oral prednisolone as judged by orbital MR imaging. MR imaging is one of the useful tools in the diagnosis and assessment of treatment in this field.
我们报告了一例采用静脉注射甲泼尼龙治疗的轻度甲状腺眼病病例,在此病例中,使用表面线圈磁共振(MR)成像能够精确识别受累肌肉。通过眼眶MR成像判断,静脉注射甲泼尼龙比口服泼尼松龙更有效。MR成像是该领域诊断和治疗评估的有用工具之一。
