Visual and otologic manifestation of Camurati–Engelmann's disease: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Camurati-Engelmann's disease (CED) is a rare disorder worldwide with just over 200 cases reported. No case of CED has been reported in Afghanistan till date. Most patients of CED (also known as progressive diaphyseal dysplasia and oeteopathica hyperostotica multiplex infantalis) present with extremity pain, muscle weakness, and waddling gait. It tends to be bilateral and symmetrical and can affect any bone but has greater affinity for long bones e.g., humerus, femur, tibia, ulna, and radius. Other common sites include skull and pelvis. Symptomatology relating to cranial nerve impingement is secondary to amorphous increase in the density of skull bones resulting in stenosis of various foramina/spaces within skull.
