Photographs and magnetic resonance imaging scans of the patient’s legs. (A,B) Photographs taken of patient’s legs. Note muscle wasting that predominantly affects posterior calf muscles (A). (C) Magnetic resonance images of both calves (top: T1-weighted image; middle: T1-weighted image, contrast enhanced, fat suppressed; bottom: Short T1 inversion recovery (STIR) images). Fatty degeneration of the medial heads of the gastrocnemius muscles (arrows). Additional areas of edema and contrast enhancement in the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle indicate muscle inflammation (arrowhead).
