Abstract

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) or myositis ossificans is an extremely rare progressive genetic disease that affects one in a million people. The mode of transmission of FOP is autosomal dominant, with no association with race, sex or geographic distribution. We report a case of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) or myositis ossificans in a 5-year-old patient admitted for suspected multiple exostoses disease. The clinical examination revealed limited joint mobility of the spine, shoulders, elbows and a skeletal deformation in the craniocaudal and proximo-distal directions. The diagnosis of FOP had been suggested by the typical appearances on standard skeletal radiography. The patient had received treatment with corticosteroids and anti-inflammatories. The course was punctuated by episodes of flare-ups and remissions followed by death in a picture of cardio-respiratory distress.
