Abstract: (11746 Views)
Fibrodysplasia(Myositis) ossificans progressiva is rare herditary connective tissue characterized by widespread soft tissue ossification and bilateral hypoplastic hallux valgus(short big toe). Onset is typically in childhood and progressive involvement of the spine and proximal extermities leades to immobility and articular dysfunction. No effective treatment is known but it is important to avoid exacerbating factors such as biopsy, operations and intramuscular injection. We present here 16 years old man with severe restriction in pripheral and axial articular movement, bilatral hallux valgus, foci of ectopic ossification in the different site of body and conductive hearing loss in right ear.
