    Osteopetrosis in the Pediatric Patient: What the Radiologist Needs to Know
    (Springer, 2024) McLuckey, Morgan N.; Imel, Erik A.; Forbes-Amrhein, Monica M.; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of Medicine
    Osteopetrosis describes several types of rare sclerosing bone dysplasias of varying clinical and radiographic severity. The classic autosomal dominant subtype emerges most often in adolescence but can present from infancy through adulthood. The autosomal recessive osteopetrosis, or "malignant infantile osteopetrosis," presents in infancy with a grimmer prognosis, though the autosomal dominant forms (often mislabeled as "benign") actually can have life-threatening consequences as well. Often osteopetrosis is detected due to skeletal findings on radiographs performed to evaluate injury or as an incidental finding during evaluation for illness. Given the varied phenotypic severity and presentations at different ages, radiologists play an integral role in the care of these patients both in diagnosis and in clinical evaluation and monitoring. A deeper understanding of the underlying genetic basis of the disease can aid in the radiologist in diagnosis and in anticipation of unique complications. An overview of current clinical management is also discussed.
