From the case:
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Modality:
X-ray
Case Discussion:
Multiple x-rays of a child demonstrating wide spread abnormalities.
The skull demonstrates prominent wormian bones, and platybasia.
The long bones demonstrate numerous horizontal lines (so called zebra stripes) associated with cyclical bisphosphonate therapy. Additionally, a number of united fractures are noted, particularly of the femurs and left tibia.
Features are consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta.
