Neurogenic Heterotopic Ossification in the Non-paretic Limb: A Case Report

Heterotopic Ossification (HO) is a pathological condition characterized by the formation of bone outside the skeletal tissues, which is usually caused by either traumatic or neurogenic factors. Neurogenic HO is a rare complication that can occur after a cerebral or spinal injury. The condition can manifest with a range of symptoms and is often challenging to diagnose clinically. Although various imaging techniques have been employed to diagnose HO, clinicians and radiologists may occasionally encounter radiological features of HO that can resemble other disease conditions. In this report, we present a unique case of neurogenic HO that developed in the nonparetic limb of a patient with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
