  Other cases resemble OI Type II, except that infants have white sclerae, small heads and round faces. It is common for leg bones, humerus and femur to be short. Short stature is common. Coxa vara is common. [oif.org]

  X-ray features Skull shows often small head circumference and Wormian bones. Back reveals severe scoliosis. Extremities are similar to OI Type IV and also show popcorn metaphyses, severely under tubulated long bones. [ijem.in]

  • Other cases resemble OI Type II, except that infants have white sclerae, small heads and round faces. • Short humeri and femora are common. • Short stature is common. • Coxa vara is common. • OI Type VII results from recessive inheritance of a mutation [ipodindia.org]

  The mother noticed visual impairment and deafness and child was sleeping with eyes half open. On examination, the child had microcephaly, flat occiput and dysmorphic facies (microphthalmia, low set ears and micrognathia). [jpgmonline.com]

This treatment involves inserting metal rods through the length of the long bones to strengthen them. The treatment also prevents and/or corrects deformities. [checkorphan.org]

Prognosis - Osteogenesis imperfecta- type 5 The prognosis for an individual with OI varies greatly depending on the number and severity of symptoms. [checkorphan.org]

Prognosis: The prognosis often depends on the type of OI and thus the severity of the disease. Type I patients often have a normal life expectancy. [gwumc.edu]

Prognosis is very variable depending on type ranging from being uniformly lethal from type II to a slight reduction in life expectancy for type I. [radiopaedia.org]

A metal rod is inserted in the bones to strengthen, correct, and prevent deformity. ( 8, 9, 10 ) Osteogenesis Imperfecta Prognosis The prognosis varies depending on the number and severity of the symptoms. [healthool.com]

Etiology The causal gene for OI type V is not known Differential diagnosis A clinically similar but histologically different type of OI type V (sometimes described as OI type VI) has been described and is thought to be autosomal recessive but the causal [orpha.net]

Such a situation is easily understandable when it is considered that in many instances of abnormality of the bones there is no known etiology, and in some cases there is failure to represent even a recognized syndrome. [pubs.rsna.org]

The sequence of diverse pathological events recorded within each family would be almost incomprehensible without a proper etiological understanding of the natural history of each child/family deformity that led to their occurrences. [journals.lww.com]

However, the etiology of growth retardation in patients with OI is not completely understood. [nature.com]

Epidemiology • In OI, defective collagen means that the bones are extremely fragile and can fracture as a result of everyday movements. • Simple movements such as opening a door or turning over in one’s sleep can cause these fractures. 5. [de.slideshare.net]

People with OI are encouraged to exercise as much as possible to promote muscle and bone strength, which can help prevent fractures. [checkorphan.org]

Once the bones are healed, the patient should undergo low impact exercises to increase mobility and prevent the possibility of future fracture. [healthool.com]

Osteoporosis can often be prevented. However, if undetected, it can worsen over many years without symptoms. [onlymyhealth.com]

Brennan, who suffers from osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease), spent several years writing about his attraction to eugenics, on the theory that it could have prevented his suffering by preventing his birth. [getreligion.org]
