Myositis ossificans traumatica of the neck - a pediatric case.
Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is an extra-osseous non- neoplastic growth of a new bone. It occurs most commonly in the second and the third decade of life, while it is rare in children. The etiology of MOC is unknown and the quadriceps and brachials are the most affected. The occurrence of traumatic MOC in tissues of the neck is uncommon. We are presenting below a rare case of traumatic myositis ossificans occurring in sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles in a 17-year-old girl.
