Clinicoradiological Findings of Benign Osteopetrosis: Report of Two New Cases
Osteopetrosis represents a heterogeneous group of rare, hereditary bone dysplasias that share the hallmark of increased bone density caused by osteoclast dysfunction. It can manifest through a spectrum of symptoms and severity, from neonatal onset with life-threatening complications ("malignant" autosomal recessive osteopetrosis) to two more benign conditions with the incidental radiographic fi...
متن کاملDebridement in chronic osteomyelitis with benign osteopetrosis: A case report
Osteopetrosis is a rare bone disease caused by metabolic imbalances as a result of genetic mutations. For instance, autosomal dominant osteopetrosis is caused by a missense mutation of the C1CN7 gene. This was first reported in 1904 and is thought to be caused by osteoclastic dysfunction and an impaired bone resorption ability. An accumulation of cortical bone mass during the remodeling of the ...
متن کاملOsteopetrosis
Osteopetrosis ("marble bone disease") is a descriptive term that refers to a group of rare, heritable disorders of the skeleton characterized by increased bone density on radiographs. The overall incidence of these conditions is difficult to estimate but autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) has an incidence of 1 in 250,000 births, and autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO) has an incidence o...
متن کاملOral Manifestations of Osteopetrosis.
Osteopetrosis is a hereditary disorder of bone characterized by sclerosis of bone and decreased marrow spaces. Due to depressed marrow function, this disorder can cause anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, recurrent infections and osteomyelitis of jaw. Excessive bone deposition in skull base leads to narrowing of foramina and cranial nerve compression. Bone marrow transplantation is the only curative tr...
متن کامل[Spondylolysis in osteopetrosis].
We report the occurrence of spondylolysis and/or spondylolisthesis of the lumbar vertebrae in five patients with osteopetrosis, four of them having multiple lesions. The case histories indicate that spondylolysis had developed in the pathological bone as a result of increased stress and that it is an acquired lesion.
