Abstract

Neurogenic para-osteo-arthropathies (NAOP) are characterized by ectopic juxta-articular peri- or para-osseous ossifications. Diagnosis of these conditions is often delayed. They are frequently associated with central neurological disorders and are rarely observed in cases of peripheral neuropathy. Bone scintigraphy is crucial for determining the maturity of the ossification, optimizing surgical interventions, and preventing recurrence.
