Presentation
Knee and ankle pain, kyphosis, loss of height and a sunken chest may also be present. Low bone mineral density, vertebral collapse and metaphyseal compression fractures of the long bones are common. [orpha.net]
Here, the authors present a representative case of this rare disorder in an otherwise healthy male, along with the clinical history, physical presentation, and review of the available literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The present paper reports two cases of this condition and reviews the literature. [experts.umich.edu]

Workup
Gynecologists, Family Physicians After completion of this article, the reader will be able to describe the condition idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis, compare the clinical features of this condition to other similar conditions, outline the diagnostic workup [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
A case report is presented and current methods of diagnosis and treatment of IJO are discussed as well as the differential diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There is no established treatment strategy. Treatments with calcium and/or vitamin D, fluoride, calcitonin, and bisphosphonates (in severe, long-lasting cases) have been reported with unequivocal efficacy. [orpha.net]
The results of treatment with a Milwaukee brace in one case have been particularly gratifying and would indicate that brace treatment should be considered when this condition is encountered. [experts.umich.edu]
Prognosis
Prognosis The disease is self-limiting with spontaneous resolution after the onset of puberty. Rarely, in more severe cases, permanent disability (kyphoscoliosis and rib deformity) can develop. [orpha.net]

Etiology
Etiology The etiology of idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis remains unknown. [orpha.net]
Diagnostic studies are usually oriented to rule out neuromuscular etiologies or, once organic causes have been reasonably discarded, conversion disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology The exact prevalence is unknown but several hundreds of cases have been reported in the literature so far. Clinical description Onset usually occurs in the prepubertal period, between 8 and 12 years of age. [orpha.net]

Its etiology and pathophysiology are not well understood and its diagnosis remains one of exclusion. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]
It is also important to note that BMD is derived from an areal measure, defined as the bone mineral content (BMC) in grams per selected bone area measured in centimeters squared (see Pathophysiology below). [emedicine.medscape.com]
