Osteogenesis imperfecta with joint contractures: bruck syndrome

Pediatr Radiol. 1998 Feb;28(2):117-9. doi: 10.1007/s002470050309.

Abstract

We describe an Egyptian boy with osteogenesis imperfecta who was born with thumb contractures and bilateral antecubital pterygia. He was seen at 16 months of age with femur and tibial fractures, thoracic vertebral compression fractures, scoliosis and Wormian bones. The findings are consistent with a diagnosis of Bruck syndrome.
