Quantitative muscle MRI did not depict any signs of ongoing inflammation or dystrophic process of the skeletal muscles in PCC patients. However, differences observed in muscle DTI depicts microstructural abnormalities, which may reflect potentially reversible fiber hypotrophy due to deconditioning. Further longitudinal and interventional studies should prove this hypothesis.
