Abstrakt: This report describes the case of a patient with congenital bilateral facial paralysis in whom ectopic bone formation developed following temporal muscle transposition. Ectopic bone formation was first noticed 4 years after surgery. Whether the ossification is a result of the transfer of periosteum or the osteogenic capacity of muscular tissue is still unknown.
