lüll Autosomal-dominant osteopetrosis: an incidental finding Rajathi M; Austin RD; Mathew P; Bharathi CS; Srivastava KCIndian J Dent Res 2010[Oct]; 21 (4): 611-4Osteopetrosis is a descriptive term that refers to a group of rare, heritable disorders of the skeleton. Osteopetrotic conditions vary greatly in their presentation and severity, from just as an incidental finding on radiographs to causing life-threatening complications such as bone marrow suppression. It is caused by failure of osteoclast development and function. Osteopetrosis can be inherited as autosomal-recessive, autosomal-dominant or as X-linked traits, with the most severe forms being the autosomal-recessive ones. The severity of the disease is mild to moderate in the autosomal-dominant forms, with normal life expectancy. Diagnosis is largely based on clinical and radiographic evaluation. The present paper reports a case of autosomal-dominant osteopetrosis complicated by osteomyelitis with a short review of the condition.|*Incidental Findings[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Chronic Disease[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Genes, Dominant/*genetics[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Mandibular Diseases/*etiology[MESH]|Osteomyelitis/*etiology[MESH]|Osteopetrosis/diagnosis/*genetics[MESH]|Osteosclerosis/diagnosis[MESH]|Radiography, Panoramic[MESH]|Suppuration[MESH] |
