Those who survive childbirth present with general failure to thrive, bone marrow failure or characteristic facies. [radiopaedia.org]

• Recurrent Infection

  Death is secondary to bone marrow failure with recurrent infection, massive hemorrhage or transformation to leukemia and its sequelae. The only curative approach is allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. [radiopaedia.org]

  Other presentations include failure to thrive and recurrent infection, both secondary to the underlying anaemia and bone marrow involvement. [adc.bmj.com]

  Affected individuals also have a malfunctioning immune system (immunodeficiency), which allows severe, recurrent infections to develop. [medlineplus.gov]

• Asymptomatic

  The patient had an asymptomatic younger brother who had dense metaphyseal bands noted on radiography at the ages of 8 months and 2 years. [omim.org]

  Osteopetrosis tarda is usually discovered accidentally on routine radiographs and is often asymptomatic; however, patients may present because of related degenerative joint disease. [aafp.org]

  Our case was also asymptomatic since birth, but radiographic examinations revealed characteristic findings of osteopetrosis. [jclpca.org]

  Most patients have a normal lifespan and are asymptomatic approximately 50% of the time. 3 The current patient had a diagnosis of osteopetrosis tarda. [healio.com]

  In many cases, individuals may exhibit no symptoms (asymptomatic). Affected individuals may also experience rhinitis, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia and extramedullary hematopoiesis. [rarediseases.org]

• Seizure

  In addition, some affected individuals may have seizures due to low blood calcium levels. Intellectual disability (usually mild to moderate) may result from recurrent seizures and/or brain abnormalities that may occur in some individuals with ARO1. [counsyl.com]

  Depending on severity and age of onset, features may include fractures, short stature, compressive neuropathies (pressure on the nerves), hypocalcemia with attendant tetanic seizures, and life-threatening pancytopenia. [malacards.org]

  Patients can also present with seizures due to low levels of calcium in the blood. Symptoms of severe neurodegeneration can manifest in rare variants of malignant infantile osteopetrosis. [rarediseases.org]

• Increased Bone Density

  Osteopetrosis is a disorder of increased bone density due to defects in bone resorption. [ctgt.net]
