We analyzed muscle area in CT and muscle pathology in a patient with isolated ACTH deficiency who started with the difficulty of eleva-tion of both arms. Cortisol treatment resulted in full recovery from severe muscle atrophy and contracture of major joints. Change of volume of major muscles in arm, thigh and calf was followed.Major muscles were identified in CT and the area of each muscle was calculated with computer assis-tance. The increase of total muscle area in sequen-tial 3 times in CT was up to 74% after prednisolone treatment. This indicates that the deficiency of cortisol resulted in 42% reduction of muscle volume.
