Case
A patient who developed hemiplegia related to a hemorrhagic stroke and who had not
been started on venous thromboembolism prophylaxis or a physical medicine and rehabilitation
program was admitted to our clinic on the 4th month after the event. Our patient had
pain, swelling, redness, increased temperature at the right lower extremity, range
of motion limitation at the hip and knee, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and complex regional
pain syndrome (CRPS) at the same side lower extremity, and heterotopic ossification
(HO) at the hip.
Conclusions
Our case is presented to emphasize the HO that is not frequently seen after stroke,
the importance of DVT prophylaxis in hemorrhagic stroke, and the association between
DVT, HO, and CRPS.
