| Popis: | Pycnodysostosis is an autosomal recessive, rare genetic osteosclerotic disorder that caused by mutation in gene coding for Cathepsin K. The bones in pycnodysostosis are abnormally dense and brittle because of insufficient reabsorption process. This syndrome has a number of characteristic clinical and radiographic signs that differentiate it from other osteosclerotic conditions. This is a rare case report of a male patient with a history of multiple fractures of bones and osteomyelitis of maxilla which is a rare entity. |
