Abstract:
Neurogenic paraosteoarthropathies (POAN) are abnormal processes of ectopic neo-osteogenesis that develop near large joints, occurring after central or peripheral neurological lesions as well as in the course of certain comas. They are responsible for joint stiffening and a vicious attitude, which can lead to nerve or vascular complications through compression. Here, we report a case.
