Here, in this case, there are typical features of osteopetrosis, such as:

• Diffuse thickening and sclerosis of the examined bones with the typical "bone within a bone" appearance and "sandwich vertebrae".
• Pathological fractures of the ribs, both femora, L4 & L5 pars.
• Hepatosplenomegaly is secondary to extramedullary hematopoiesis.
