Heterotopic ossification (HO), deposition of para-articular ectopic bone, is associated with musculoskeletal trauma and certain congenital and metabolic disorders. Additionally, HO may follow paralysis from diverse traumatic and nontraumatic neurologic insults. We describe three cases of HO associated with catastrophic nontraumatic respiratory illness requiring prolonged chemical paralysis and cardiorespiratory support.
异位骨化（HO），即关节周围异位骨的沉积，与肌肉骨骼创伤以及某些先天性和代谢性疾病相关。此外，HO可能继发于各种创伤性和非创伤性神经损伤导致的麻痹。我们描述了三例与灾难性非创伤性呼吸疾病相关的HO病例，这些病例需要长期化学麻痹和心肺支持。
