Abstract

Myositis ossificans is a benign, self-limiting and non-neoplastic development of heterotopic bone in skeletal muscle following trauma. Although myositis ossificans can occur anywhere in the body, psoas muscle involvement is very rare. To the best of our knowledge, CT and MR imaging findings of myositis ossificans in the psoas muscle secondary to lumbar spine fracture have not been reported in the radiological literature. In this article, we describe the CT and MR imaging findings of myositis ossificans of the psoas muscle after lumbar spine fracture in a 64-year-old man, and conduct a review of the relevant literature.

골화성 근염은 외상 후 골격근에 생기는 양성, 자가 치유되는, 비종양성, 이소성 골형성 병변이다. 골화성 근염은 신체의 어느 부위에나 생길 수 있으나 요근에 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 영상의학 문헌에 요추 골절 후 발생한 요근의 골화성 근염에 대한 CT 및 MR 소견에 대한 증례보고가 없다. 저자들은 요추 골절과 동반되어 발생한 요근의 골화성 근염으로 진단된 64세 환자에서 CT와 MR 소견을 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다.
