Abstract

Osteopetrosis is a rare hereditary metabolic bone disorder of sclerosing bony dysplasia characterized by generalized skeletal sclerosis caused by a defect in bone resorption & remodeling due to defect in osteoclast function. Many subtypes of OP have been described.

The correct and early diagnosis of infantile osteopetrosis is important for management of complications and for future genetic counselling. Diagnosis is largely based on clinical and radiographic evaluation, confirmed by gene testing where ever applicable.
