Abstract
A 54-year-old man, with previous history of neurogenic heterotopic ossification (HO) in muscles around the left hip following a spinal cord injury ten months earlier, was referred to our nuclear medicine center for an 18fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to rule out a spondylodiscitis. No sign of spondylodiscitis was found on 18F-FDG PET/CT, but images revealed an increased 18F-FDG uptake in HO areas, matching with ongoing osteoblastic activity on a following bone scan. ©Copyright 2022 by Turkish Society of Nuclear Medicine, Molecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy published by Galenos Yayınevi.Entities:
