Guy Patin (1662) first described “a women who turned in wood”. This rare congenital disorder was given the title myositis ossificans progressiva by Von Dusch (1868). Lutwak (1964) analysed 266 cases from medical literature. It was considered to be exclusively confined to white races till Grewal and Dass (1953) described an Indian child suffering from this malady. Nine additional cases were reported from India (Grewal and Dass 1953, Chatterjee 1955, Vyaghreshwarudu and Reddy 1960, Dikshit and Tandon 1967, Tuli and Sharma 1970, Sainaba and Mathai 1971, Sohi and Sohi 1973, Singh and Pachnanda 1976). A case of extensive myositis ossificans in a lady who could complete full term pregnancy and had normal delivery was considered worth reporting. |
