Table 1:
Diagnosis | Genetics of inheritance | Distinctive radiologic features | Distinctive clinical features |
---|---|---|---|
Osteopoikilosis | AD or sporadic | Sclerotic, rounded or oval foci with a typically periarticular distribution | Asymptomatic if sporadic; AD form is associated with dermatofibrosis lenticularis disseminata |
Enostosis (bone island) | None (not inherited) | Sclerotic, rounded or oval foci (scattered) | Asymptomatic |
Osteopetrosis | AR (lethal) or AD (adult form) | Diffuse sclerosis or bone-within-bone pattern | Variable anemia and increased risk of fractures |
Pycnodysostosis | AR | Diffuse sclerosis (similar to osteopetrosis) | Dwarfism, mandibular hypoplasia, short fingers |
Osteopathia striata | AD or sporadic | Linear areas of sclerosis with periarticular distribution | Asymptomatic |
Osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis | AD | Linear areas of sclerosis with periarticular distribution | Cranial nerve dysfunction |
Note: AD = autosomal dominant, AR = autosomal recessive.
