Abstract
We report myositis ossificans occurring in a 13-year-old boy with severe and rapidly progressive Guillain-Barré syndrome. This complication should be considered when severe musculoskeletal pain is experienced by such patients. Disodium etidronate may be of benefit in this condition.Keywords
