Osteopetrosis is a rare inherited disease with incidence of 1:500.000 in north american population and characterized by increased skeletal density and fractures. Clinically three types can be distinguished: infantile malignant form, benign form of adult and intermediate type. We report two cases of intermediate form describing and commenting the clinical and radiological features.
