Abstract: (9417 Views)
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) or Brittle bone disease, is a rare genetic disorder that causes type I
collagen synthesis disturbance results in bone fragility.
We present a female newborn which had numerous fractures in the arm and femur. Her delivery was at
38 weeks gestation by caesarean section. Prenatal ultrasound revealed bone swelling and long bones
shortness. The patient is pale blue sclera. 36 days after birth, the patient had a fracture in her left femur.
Genetic analysis of the patient was reported. Protests by clinical, ultrasound and x-ray taken during
pregnancy for this patient reported Osteogenesis Imperfecta type V.
shortening, swelling and deformity of the long bones during prenatal sonography can prove Osteogenesis
Imperfecta before birth and select the correct orthopedic plan for treatment.
