“…The calcification becomes apparent sooner on ultrasound than on radiographs and quickly develops typical acoustic shadowing ( Figure 11) [13]. The calcification may develop along the plane of the muscle bundles [14], or may be more irregular [15]. At early stages of development the appearances may mimic a soft tissue sarcoma, and although the typical distribution of calcification at the periphery of myositis is different to the central calcification noted in tumours, it may be extremely difficult to make this distinction.…”

“…Initially, the intermediate zone contains foci of echodense islands and will not be uniformly re¯ective. Later, the foci of echodense islands rapidly become con¯uent 68,69,135 and the complete zone phenomena can be seen sonographically. As the NHO matures, the peripheral rim of the intermediate zone becomes more re¯ective on US due to increased mineralization 67 ± 69 and 4 ± 6 weeks after the ®rst clinical signs the NHO behaves like corticated bone.…”

Neurogenic heterotopic ossification in spinal cord injury

2002

Neurogenic heterotopic ossi®cation (NHO) is a frequent complication in spinal cord injury (SCI) that is often di cult to treat. This review emphasizes the incidence, risk factors and clinical signs of NHO in SCI patients. Although the exact pathophysiology underlying NHO in neurologic patients is not yet understood, di erent pathogenic mechanisms have been proposed in the literature. A selection of the most important theories will be given and discussed. Moreover the di erent diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive methods currently used in NHO management after SCI will be reviewed.

“…Kramer's report [18] is among the first to use ultrasonography for HO detection, describing the sonographic pictures of an ovoid, relative echo-free mass and a center core of calcification. Thomas and colleagues [19] later stated that the "zone phenomenon," the centrifugal maturation fashion of HO, can be seen with ultrasonography.…”

KEY WORDSheterotopic ossification, stroke, ultrasonography Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common complication in patients with neurologic deficits. Once developed, limited range of motion may occur and interfere with rehabilitation programs. Early diagnosis is crucial but difficult because radiographs may be negative, and similar clinical symptoms could appear in deep venous thrombosis, cellulitis, and osteomyelitis. A three-phase bone scan can detect the disease early, but it has high radiation and low specificity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may also assist in diagnosis, but is costly and has some contraindications. Ultrasonography has been used in HO detection and is safe, economical, easily accessible, and involves no radiation exposure. However, a few studies have described its use in HO, especially in serial follow-ups. We report a case with HO clinical symptoms, but the MRI results created a necrotizing fasciitis suspicion. Serial ultrasonography images implied the formation of HO rather than necrotizing fasciitis. Ultrasonography images serve as a good initial screening tool for HO and are useful for following up such dynamic disease processes. ª

Ultrasound appearance of myositis ossificans

Abstract: Ultrasonic evaluation of a soft tissue mass of the thigh was performed and suggested the diagnosis of myositis ossificans. Correlation with routine radiographic studies is made, as well as with the follow-up radiographic examination.
