Abstract
We describe a child who was treated for 10 years with etidronate disod ium for myositis ossificans. There were no typical bouts of swelling, reddening or hardening of areas over the skeletal muscles with this tr eatment and there were no side effects. Nevertheless, a constant gradu al progression of the disease led to severe limitation of joint moveme nt. This is the first report on long-term treatment with etidronate di sodium.
