Familial ectopic ossification.

چکیده
We report a family with dominantly inherited ectopic ossification. It is characterised by childhood onset of multifocal subcutaneous ossifications (primary osteoma cutis), which are of trivial clinical significance. One family member had extensive ectopic ossification involving one limb. We speculate that this may reflect somatic mutation having caused conversion to homozygosity.

A case of pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism (Albright).
(P.P.H.), as a syndrome of anatomic anomalies similar to Pseudohypoparathyroidism(namely, short stature, round face, short metacarpal or metatarsal bone and ectopic ossification), with normal serum concentration of calcium and phosphate. Since 1952, many cases were reported all over the world. But we have never seen the report in Japan. Recently, we have experienced a young girl(10 years)who ha...
متن کاملIdiopathic heterotopic ossification in the intensive care setting.
Heterotopic ossification is characterised by the periarticular deposition of ectopic bone. It typically occurs after trauma, neurogenic injury, or congenital causes. Idiopathic heterotopic ossification has been rarely reported. A patient who developed idiopathic heterotopic ossification in the intensive care unit without any known predisposing conditions is presented.
متن کاملThe H2 blocker famotidine suppresses progression of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in a mouse model
BACKGROUND Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the spine is a common human myelopathy that leads to spinal cord compression. No disease-modifying drug for OPLL has been identified, whereas surgery and conservative management have been established. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the therapeutic potential of the H2 blocker famotidine for ectopic ossification in the cervical sp...
متن کاملExtraskeletal (Ectopic) Calcification and Ossification
A significant number and variety of disorders cause extraskeletal deposition of calcium and phosphate (Table 1). In some, mineral is precipitated as amorphous calcium phosphate or as crystals of hydroxyapatite; in others, osseous tissue is formed. The pathogenesis of ectopic mineralization is generally attributed to one of three mechanisms (Table 1). First, a supranormal “calcium-phosphate solu...
متن کاملOssification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament: Etiology, Diagnosis, and Outcomes of Nonoperative and Operative Management
Study Design Narrative review. Objective To provide an overview on the diagnosis, natural history, and nonoperative and operative management of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). OPLL is a multifactorial condition caused by ectopic hyperostosis and calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Familial inheritance and genetic factors have been implicated in the ...
