ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We have clinically encountered children with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva who had abnormal calcaneal ossification.OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate whether calcaneal ossification variants are significant radiographic findings in children with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Lateral feet radiographs in nine children who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva were reviewed. The studies were obtained during infancy or early childhood.RESULTS:
Fourteen lateral foot radiographs of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva were available for this study (ages at examination 1-104 months). Four children ages 2 months to 11 months showed double calcaneal ossification centers; 7 children had plantar calcaneal spurs that decreased in size with age. Overall, eight of nine children with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva demonstrated double calcaneal ossifications and/or plantar calcaneal spurs in infancy or childhood.CONCLUSION:
Double calcaneal ossification centers in early infancy and plantar calcaneal spurs in childhood are frequently seen in children with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and may be a useful radiologic indicator for early diagnosis.Palabras clave
