title: Skeletal Manifestations of Osteogenesis Imperfecta.
abstract: The skeletal manifestations of osteogenesis imperfecta are investigated. The antenatal and postnatal diagnosis of the disease is briefly mentioned and the characteristic appearances of bone deformities are analyzed in detail. The distinctive bony manifestations of osteogenesis imperfecta are illustrated using typical examples. Finally, we comment on the differential diagnosis.
