Abstract

Osteopoikilosis is condensing or sclerosing osteopathy which is generally believed to be congenital anomalies and heriditary in nature. Osteopoikolosis or osteopathia condensans disseminata is a condition which is ralatively rare in the medical literature. It is characterized by a disseminated condensation of the bones of the skeleton without clinical symptoms. Lesion are usually multiple and symmetrically distributed and consist of numerous regularly arranged trabeculae of varying thickness arranged, for accumulated in the epiphyses and metaphyses of long bones, and in the pelvis, hands and feet, but they may be found in any bone; the cranial bones are rarely affected. In view of the rarity of this congenital bone disease, the following 6 examples are recorded.
