Objective Myositis ossificans is a rare non-neoplastic form of heterotopic ossification most commonly described after trauma or surgery, in the diabetic foot. Design We provide a review of the literature including three illustrative cases. Participants Individuals presenting to the foot clinic. Setting Single centre, tertiary multidisciplinary specialist diabetes foot clinic. Results We review the literature surrounding Myositis ossificans, and describe three cases of Myositis ossificans following foot surgery in people with diabetes. All of the imaging was consistent with the descriptions of Myositis ossificans reported elsewhere in large muscle groups. These are the first reports of Myositis ossificans occurring in the feet of people with diabetes. Conclusions Myositis ossificans has only very rarely been described in the foot and, as far as we are aware, never in people with diabetes. Given that the prevalence of diabetes is increasing, and the foot problems requiring surgery are also rising, we suggest that clinicians should be more aware of this condition because it may occur more frequently.

Introduction: Congenital bony fusion of the maxilla and mandible, especially as an isolated occurrence, is a rare condition while acquired fusion being even rarer. Case report: A rare case of a 32 year old female patient with acquired unilateral bony fusion between the zygomatic arch of maxilla and ramus of mandible is reported. Discussion: Forty one cases of syngnathia has been reported in the international literature from 1936 to 2009, of which 39 cases are congenital and two were acquired, case 1 probably as a result of a fibrotic tubed pedicle and in case 2 from myositis ossificans. According to several case series, bony ankylosis of the mandible and maxilla has also been found to occur in 30%-43% of cases of NOMA.

Clinical And Pathological Features

Background: To investigate the hypothesis that cases of arteritis similar to thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and associated with the use of cannabis were caused by cannabis or THC (dronabinol), or that cannabis use is a co-factor of TAO. Patients and methods: A systematic review on case reports and the literature on so-called cannabis arteritis, TAO, and cardiovascular effects of cannabinoids was conducted. Results: Fifteen reports with 57 cases of an arteritis associated with the use of cannabis and two additional case series of TAO, in which some patients also used cannabis, were identified. Clinical and pathological features of cannabis-associated arteritis do not differ from TAO and the major risk factor of TAO, tobacco use, was present in most, if not in all of these cases. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of an arteritis by cannabis use are not substantiated. Conclusions: The hypothesis of cannabis being a causative factor or co-factor of TAO or an arteritis similar to TAO is not supported by the available evidence. The use of the term “cannabis arteritis” should be avoided until or unless more convincing scientific support is forthcoming.
