Management of osteogenesis imperfecta in pregnancy. A case report.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a metabolic disorder of connective tissue; it is typically characterized by blue sclera, bone fragility and deformity secondary to repetitive fractures. The severity of the disease in the infant cannot be predicted by the phenotypic presentation of the mother. We present a case report and review literature and discuss the prenatal diagnosis, evaluation criteria and guidelines for delivery.
