Extraocular muscle enlargement can result from a wide variety of disease processes. Although observations of the pattern of muscle involvement, muscle shape and enhancement, superior ophthalmic vein and cavernous sinus enlargement, sinus and bony wall abnormalities, and proptosis can lead to a limited differential diagnosis in some cases, no radiographic finding in itself seems to be pathognomonic. Correlative clinical findings are necessary to make a secure diagnosis.
眼外肌增大可由多种疾病过程引起。尽管观察肌肉受累模式、肌肉形态及强化情况、眼上静脉和海绵窦增大、鼻窦及骨壁异常以及眼球突出在某些情况下可导致有限的鉴别诊断，但本身没有任何影像学表现具有确诊意义。做出可靠诊断需要相关的临床发现。
