Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis (ADO) is a rare, osteosclerotic disorder usually caused by missense variants in the CLCN7 gene, resulting in impaired osteoclastic bone resorption. Penetrance is incomplete and disease severity varies widely, even among relatives within the same family. Although ADO can cause visual loss, osteonecrosis, osteomyelitis, and bone marrow failure, the most common complication of ADO is fracture.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic chronic condition leading to fragile bones and frequent bone fractures with wide-reaching health implications. Current literature suggests that children with chronic diseases face unique challenges at school, yet research regarding educational concerns among those with OI is limited. The present study involved qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with 10 children with OI and 12 caregivers of a child with OI.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by defective type I collagen synthesis, leading to fragile bones and skeletal deformities. One of the serious complications of OI involves abnormalities of the craniovertebral junction, including basilar invagination, basilar impression, and platybasia, which can cause skull base deformities and brainstem compression. We report a case of a 19-year-old patient with OI presenting with headaches, neurological deficits, and visual impairment, whose contrast-enhanced head CT scan revealed basilar invagination, fusion of midbrain colliculi, tonsillar herniation into the foramen magnum, and communicating hydrocephalus.

Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by fragile bones and vascular fragility, increasing the risk of vessel dissection and potentially complicating endovascular intervention. The authors present the first case of cranial bypass in a patient with OI.
Observations: A 38-year-old male with OI type I presented with a symptomatic left internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusive dissection managed with endovascular revascularization and stenting.

The changes in bone mineral density (BMD), bone structure, and bone size at the proximal humerus with aging, which can lead to fragile fractures in men, are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate age-related changes in the skeletal properties of the surgical neck of the humerus in men. We conducted a cross-sectional cohort study involving 193 Chinese men, divided into three age groups: Group I (20-50 years), Group II (51-64 years), and Group III (≥ 65 years).
