[Neurogenic ectopic ossification: a physiatry update].
The first aim of this paper is to present a critical review of the existing literature on neurogenic ectopic ossification. The second aim is to introduce the two papers published in this issue of the journal. In addition, etiopathogenic aspects are described as well as some insights in classical therapies and new therapeutic options which could prove to be useful in the near future.
