Table 3. Interocular comparison of extraocular muscle volumes in patients with CPEO.
Anatomical side | Superior rectus | Inferior rectus | Medial rectus | Lateral rectus |
Mean ± SD (mm3) | Mean ± SD (mm3) | Mean ± SD (mm3) | Mean ± SD (mm3) | |
Left eye (n = 20) | 556.4±27.0 | 502.5±26.8 | 514.0±17.2 | 593.6±24.6 |
Right eye (n = 20) | 569.9±37.3 | 545.4±21.6 | 527.9±23.9 | 620.7±25.2 |
P value | 0.7707 | 0.2205 | 0.6374 | 0.4469 |
The P value for each rectus muscle indicates the level of significance for the comparison between the left and right eye. SD = standard deviation.
