Clinical and radiologic findings in an adult male with dysosteosclerosis.
Dysosteosclerosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis and platyspondyly. A case of dysosteosclerosis in a 17-year-old male from our institution was first published by Houston et al. 1978. This patient has survived into adulthood and to our knowledge, is the only reported adult with dysosteosclerosis. We will review the clinical and radiographic features in our patient.
