Abstract

SummaryA 17-years-old male suffering from myositis ossificans progressiva with ossification in the left hip joint and cervical spine regions and microdactyly of both big toes is described. Electromyographic examination of clinically normal quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles revealed a myopathic pattern. This fact may indicate that in myositis ossificans progressiva the pathological process in the muscle may be subclinical and widespread, even before inflammation or ossification appears.
