Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of whole-body muscle MRI (WB-mMRI) in identifying underlying myopathy in patients with bent spine syndrome (BSS) that is not associated with extrapyramidal conditions.
- Forty-three patients, primarily women aged between 53-86, underwent WB-mMRI and nerve conduction studies; muscle biopsies were conducted if necessary based on the results.
- The study found that WB-mMRI successfully identified all myopathies in five cases and highlighted its role in directing when a muscle biopsy is needed, while emphasizing the importance of careful MRI interpretation for incidental findings.
