Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disease where the basic pathology is of defective collagen. It is a rare disorder with a reported incidence of 1/25000-1/30000. Four variants are recognized clinically, of which type II is the most severe form. Clinically the hall marks of the disease are multiple fractures and osteopenia.
OBJECTIVE: This case is being presented because of its rare incidence, and to highlight the radiological features distinguishing it from battered baby syndrome occurring from child abuse.
CASE REPORTS: An eight day old Nigeria neonate, with clinico radiological features highly suggestive of type II osteogenesis imperfecta is presented.
CONCLUSION: Emphasis on the radiological features, especially those distinguishing it from battered baby syndrome which has a similar appearance are discussed.
