EOM was manually segmented from the T1W image using 3D Slicer software, and volume was calculated using FSL software. T-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare EOM volumes between the idiopathic HP and control groups. Pearson\u2019s correlation coefficient was then used to assess the correlation between ocular motility and EOM enlargement.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n In idiopathic HP patients, the average EOM volumes, including the medial rectus (p\u2009=\u20090.002 each), inferior rectus (right p\u2009=\u20090.08, left p\u2009<\u20090.01), inferior oblique (right p\u2009=\u20090.009, left p\u2009=\u20090.005), right lateral rectus (p\u2009=\u20090.005), right superior oblique (p\u2009=\u20090.004), and left superior rectus (p\u2009=\u20090.005) muscles, were significantly larger compared to those in HC, particularly in the left IR and both MR. However, there was no significant correlation between the enlargement of these 9 EOMs and the extraocular movement limitation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n In idiopathic HP patients, significantly larger EOM volumes were found compared to control subjects. This enlargement could be due to the diffuse infiltrative histopathology potentially involving microstructures in the EOM. Extraocular movement limitations may be related to cranial nerve involvement. However, the enlarged EOM volumes show no significant correlation with extraocular movement limitation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0309638","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,29]],"date-time":"2025-04-29T13:24:17Z","timestamp":1745933057000},"page":"e0309638","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Analysis of extraocular muscle volumes in idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis patients"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Suppakul","family":"Kitkamolwat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Supichaya","family":"Soonthornpusit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akarawit","family":"Eiamsamarng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1698-0520","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Natthapon","family":"Rattanathamsakul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Niphon","family":"Chirapapaisan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5055-0711","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Chanon","family":"Ngamsombat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0309638.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"565088","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2020.565088","article-title":"Hypertrophic pachymeningitis in a southern chinese population: a retrospective study","volume":"11","author":"X Xiao","year":"2020","journal-title":"Front Neurol"},{"issue":"3","key":"pone.0309638.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1515\/abm-2019-0049","article-title":"Distinguishing magnetic resonance imaging features between idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis and secondary hypertrophic pachymeningitis","volume":"13","author":"S Warittikoon","year":"2019","journal-title":"Asian Biomed"},{"key":"pone.0309638.ref003","unstructured":"Sakdee W, Termglinchan T, Lertbutsayanukul P.
