Long-term Follow-up and Muscle Imaging Findings in Brachio-Cervical Inflammatory Myopathy

Conclusion BCIM is an inflammatory myopathy with a peculiar clinical and radiologic presentation and a relatively broad spectrum of severity. Long-term follow-up data suggest that appropriate and early treatment can prevent chronic muscle function impairment. MRI characterization can be helpful in reducing diagnostic and treatment delay with positive consequence on clinical outcome.
