Bulbous epiphysis and popcorn calcification as related to growth plate differentiation in osteogenesis imperfecta.
BACKGROUND Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is an heritable systemic disorder of connective tissue due to different sequence variants in genes affecting both the synthesis of type I collagen and osteoblast function. Dominant and recessive inheritance is recognized. Approximately 90% of the OI cases are due to mutations in COL1A1/A2 genes. We clinically and radiologically describes an adult male wit...
متن کاملPamidronate Alters the Growth Plate in the Oim Mouse Model for Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Bisphosphonates alleviate bone pain and fractures associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Using the oim mouse model to simulate variations in OI severity, the effect of pamidronate on bone growth was assessed. Homozygous (oim/oim) and heterozygous (oim/wt) mice from 4 to 12 weeks of age were given pamidronate at 0 mg/kg/wk (control), 1.25 mg/kg/wk (low) and 2.5 mg/kg/wk (high). Humerus an...

متن کاملOsteogenesis imperfecta.
Our clinical files on osteogenesis imperfecta are brought up-to-date reviewing a total of 33,555 cases admitted between 4/XII/48 and 31/VIII/76. From these, 5 clinical cases were found. The extreme rareness of this regional pathology in our Cátedra y Sericio de Pediatría, which is the largest concentration center in Paraguay had led us to make this publication.

متن کاملOsteogenesis imperfecta misdiagnosed as child abuse.
The differential diagnosis of child abuse includes osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Mild phenotypes of OI may be misdiagnosed as child abuse. The purpose of this study was to review the experience of families in which OI was misdiagnosed as child abuse. Sixty-one potential cases of misdiagnosis were identified from a lay support organization. Upon review of the medical records, 33 cases were ident...
