description

Heterotopic ossification is the abnormal formation of bone in soft tissues outside the skeleton. It is associated with nervous system injuries or after a hip replacement. It is therefore a relevant pathology against which there is a controversial diagnostic and therapeutic attitude. We report a case of a patient of 36 year who developed heterotopic ossification after herpetic encephalitis. We also review the published studies collecting the current recommendations for diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
