Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) is a non invasive, safe technique of high diagnostic efficiency. * Its value in diagnosis of central nervous system diseases is well established. It starts to play an important role in the diagnosis of muscular and neuromuscular diseases (which is our concern). Our work aim is to study the value ofCT in the diagnosis of such neuromuscular disorders. Fourty one selected cases of different neuromuscular disorders were studied in comparison to 12 normal subjects as a control group. Each case was examined clinically, electromyographically, and by muscle biopsy. In addition to CT examination at different levels to study all the muscles suspected to suffer from disease process. Our results showed that in the 30 myopathic patients, the accuracy rate of electromyographic study was 90%, muscle biopsy 93.33%, and the CT accurancy rate was 100%. In the myasthenic group, the accuracy rate of electromyographic study was 80%, while neither muscle biopsy nor CT could detect any pathological or significant changes.
