Heterotopic ossification is the formation of new bone in an abnormal location. It is usually seen following central nervous system disorders, including spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, encephalitis, and burn and trauma. Heterotopic ossification in post-stroke hemiplegia is rare; the reported incidence is 0.5-1.2%. It usually occurs on the paretic side of hemiplegic patients. We present here a case of post-stroke hemiplegia with heterotopic ossification in the non-paretic limb.
异位骨化是指在异常部位形成新骨。它通常在中枢神经系统疾病后出现，包括脊髓损伤、创伤性脑损伤、脑炎以及烧伤和外伤。中风后偏瘫患者出现异位骨化的情况较为罕见；报道的发病率为0.5 - 1.2%。它通常发生在偏瘫患者的患侧。我们在此报告一例中风后偏瘫患者在非患侧肢体出现异位骨化的病例。
