Extraocular muscle myositis and restrictive strabismus in 10 dogs.
[focal myositis]
Ten
cases
of
uni-
or
bilateral
restrictive
ventromedial
strabismus
in
young
dogs
of
different
breeds
are
reported
.
Clinically
,
abnormalities
were
restricted
to
the
extraocular
muscles
with
sparing
of
the
masticatory
muscles
and
limb
muscles
.
This
was
supported
in
some
cases
by
imaging
studies
,
electrophysiology
,
and
immunocytochemical
assay
for
antibodies
against
type
2
M
fibers
.
Histologically
,
there
was
variable
lymphocytic
plasmacytic
mononuclear
cell
infiltration
and
fibrosis
.
This
disorder
is
similar
in
many
aspects
to
chronic
masticatory
myositis
with
focal
myositis
and
subsequent
fibrosis
.
Surgical
correction
may
restore
eye
position
and
vision
.
