• Recurrent Fractures

  Clinically, bone pain, recurrent fractures, back pain, and degenerative arthritis can be presented in ADO. Cranial nerve compression is common in type I ADO. In our case, there was no abnormality in skull X-ray and no symptom except back pain. [synapse.koreamed.org]

  Radiologically, the bones may be slender or broad due to recurrent fractures. Epiphyses are abnormal, with expansion and islands of calcified (‘popcorn’) cartilage[73]. [slideshare.net]

• Spastic Gait

  On examination, he was generally well, but walked with a spastic gait and used a stick. His shoulder girdle muscles were wasted and there was fasciculation in the forearms and thighs. [dokumen.tips]

• Focal Neurological Deficit

  A 34-year-old, otherwise healthy male patient presented with diffuse lower back pain without any focal neurologic deficits. Plain radiographs of the thoracic and lumbar spine did not depict any abnormalities (Fig. 1). [docksci.com]

• Cervical Cord Compression

  Tone was increased in all four limbs with hyper-reflexia and equivocal plantar responses, compatible with a moderate spastic tetraparesis and suggestive of cervical cord compression. [dokumen.tips]

• Rugger-Jersey Spine

  Rugger-jersey spine, the major radiologic finding in our case, can be seen in autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO). So, osteomesopyknosis must be distinguished from ADO. [synapse.koreamed.org]

Osteomesopyknosis, usually discovered incidentally on radiographic examination, is a mild form of familial osteosclerosis and must be distinguished from osteopetrosis which carries a worse prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

One year after, Maroteaux[ 2 ] reported five members of four different families and named osteomesopyknosis for a sclerosing axial bone disease with autosomal dominant inheritance which has a good prognosis. [synapse.koreamed.org]
