- Osteopetrosis - Wikipedia
Osteopetrosis, literally 'stone bone', also known as marble bone disease or Albers-Schönberg disease, is an extremely rare inherited disorder whereby the bones harden, becoming denser, in contrast to more prevalent conditions like osteoporosis, in which the bones become less dense and more brittle, or osteomalacia, in which the bones soften

Osteopetrosis is group of a rare disorders that cause bones to grow abnormally and become overly dense When bones become overly dense, they are brittle and can fracture (break) easily In addition, bones may be misshapen and large, causing other problems in the body

Osteopetrosis, also known as Albers-Schönberg disease or marble bone disease, is an uncommon hereditary disorder that results from defective osteoclasts Bones become sclerotic and thick, but their abnormal structure actually causes them to be weak and brittle

Osteopetrosis is a congenital metabolic bone disease caused by defective osteoclastic resorption of immature bone that presents with increased frequency of long bone fractures, cranial nerve palsies, and low back pain

Osteopetrosis refers to a group of rare, inherited skeletal disorders characterized by increased bone density and abnormal bone growth Symptoms and severity can vary greatly, ranging from neonatal onset with serious complications (such as bone marrow failure) to the incidental finding of osteopetrosis on X-ray
- Osteopetrosis: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment
Osteopetrosis, often termed "marble bone disease," is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal density of bones Despite the seemingly positive connotation of "stronger bones," this condition leads to bones that are more brittle and susceptible to fractures
- Osteopetrosis Disease: Understanding Marble Bone Disease
osteopetrosis disease, or marble bone disease, presents distinct challenges as a rare skeletal disorder characterized by abnormally dense bones Understanding its underlying causes, symptoms, and effective treatment options is essential for managing this complex condition
- Osteopetrosis - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
The name osteopetrosis encompasses a group of hereditary metabolic bone diseases, all of which detrimentally affect bone growth and remodeling leading to generalized osteosclerosis and the potential of pathologic fractures, pancytopenia, and even cranial neuropathies and hepatosplenomegaly in severe cases
