  One of the more important systematic effects affecting lattice computations
of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic
moment of the muon, $a_\mu^{\rm HVP}$, is the distortion due to a finite
spatial volume. In order to reach sub-percent precision, these effects need to
be reliably estimated and corrected for, and one of the methods that has been
employed for doing this is finite-volume chiral perturbation theory. In this
paper, we argue that finite-volume corrections to $a_\mu^{\rm HVP}$ can, in
principle, be calculated at any given order in chiral perturbation theory. More
precisely, once all low-energy constants needed to define the Effective Field
Theory representation of $a_\mu^{\rm HVP}$ in infinite volume are known to a
given order, also the finite-volume corrections can be predicted to that order
in the chiral expansion.
