[Heterotopic ossifications after hospitalisation in intensive care for SARS-CoV-2 pneumopathy].

We report the case of a 63-year old patient admitted in the intensive care unit for 25 days because of a severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. With diverse symptoms of critical illness polyneuropathy the patient has been taken care of in a rehabilitation centre. Ankylosis and joint motion limitation led to a more extensive imaging assessment. The later showed advanced periarticular heterotopic calcification in both hips and in right shoulder. Although hypothesis about this complication's physiopathology remains unclear, early identification would allow a better management. It is the first time heterotopic ossification involving three large joints is reported after a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
