چکیده
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by postnatal progressive heterotopic ossification of connective tissue and congenital malformation of big toes. We report a 3-year male toddler with clinical and radiological features of FOP. He was born with bilateral hallux valgus and at the age of 3 years presented with hard swellings over back, scapular region and forehead that were initially inflammatory and then became bony hard. There is also tilting of neck towards the left due to calcification in neck region. The radiographs showed heterotopic ossification in thoracic region, neck, spine and region of hip joint.

UNLABELLED Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva formerly known as Myositis ossificans progressiva is a rare hereditary mesodermal disorder. It is characterized by congenital skeletal anomalies and progressive ectopic bone formation in connective tissue, resulting in mature ossification within soft tissues and bridging between osseous structures. It is extremely rare and has an incidence of one...

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare and disabling syndrome, which is characterized by heterotopic ossifications and skeletal deformities. So far, around 200 patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva have been reported in the world literature. Herein, we analyze the clinical records of 7 known cases of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva from Iran who were admitted to the...
متن کاملInfluenza-like viral illnesses and flare-ups of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.
Flare-ups of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva are most commonly triggered by soft tissue trauma. After observing severe flare-ups of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva in two half-sisters with culture-confirmed influenza B infections, we hypothesized that influenza-like viral illnesses also can trigger fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva flare-ups. To address this hypothesis, we desig...

BACKGROUND Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a rare genetic disorder of progressive extraskeletal ossification, is the most disabling form of heterotopic ossification in humans. However, little is known about the lifespan or causes of mortality in these patients. We undertook this study to determine the lifespan and causes of mortality in individuals who had fibrodysplasia ossificans progr...

A family with five persons affected with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (myositis ossificans progressiva) in three generations is described. This is the first well documented three generation family with this condition and provides further evidence for autosomal dominant inheritance. A wide range of phenotypic severity is apparent, from disabling ectopic bone formation and premature deat...

BACKGROUND Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a heritable disorder of connective tissue characterized by congenital malformation of the great toes and postnatal formation of ectopic bone. Although the disorder was first described more than 300 years ago, the genetic defect and pathophysiology remain unknown. Bone morphogenetic proteins are potent bone-inducing morphogens that participate ...
