Axial T2-weighted muscle MRI at the thigh level (A) and muscle ultrasound images (B-F). On MRI, muscles in the posterior compartment (biceps longus head (a) and adductor magnus (b) muscles) showed a high signal intensity, whereas muscles in the anterior compartment were preserved (A). Muscle ultrasound also showed a posterior dominant-involvement pattern in lower limb muscles in addition to tongue muscle involvement. The tongue (B), biceps femoris (C), and gastrocnemius (D) muscles had a diffusely hyperechoic pattern, whereas normal muscle structures were relatively preserved in the vastus lateralis (E) and tibialis anterior (F) muscles
