  • Title: Heterotopic ossification of the hips in a patient with Guillain Barre syndrome demonstrated on SPECT/CT.
    Author: Shawgi M.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2012 Oct; 37(10):e253-4. PubMed ID: 22899193.
    Abstract:
    A 55-year-old man developed bilateral hip pain following admission with Guillain Barre syndrome. Hip radiographs showed minor degenerative changes. 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy showed bilateral abnormal activity extending from the acetabula to the trochanteric regions. SPECT/CT localized the abnormal activity to the soft tissues surrounding the hips. Heterotopic ossification is a rare complication of Guillain Barre syndrome.
