Clinical application of quantitative computed tomography in osteogenesis imperfecta-suspected cat
One-year-old male Persian cat presented with multiple fractures and no known traumatic history. Marked decrease of bone radiopacity and thin cortices of all long bones were identified on radiography. Tentative diagnosis was osteogenesis imperfecta, a congenital disorder characterized by fragile bone. To determine bone mineral density (BMD), quantitative computed tomography (QCT) was performed. ...
متن کاملOsteogenesis Imperfecta: A Review with Clinical Examples.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by susceptibility to bone fractures, with a severity ranging from subtle increase in fracture frequency to prenatal fractures. The first scientific description of OI dates from 1788. Since then, important milestones in OI research and treatment have, among others, been the classification of OI into 4 types (the 'Sillence classification'), the discov...
متن کاملOsteogenesis imperfecta--clinical and molecular diversity.
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heritable disorder of bone formation resulting in low bone mass and a propensity to fracture. It exhibits a broad range of clinical severity, ranging from multiple fracturing in utero and perinatal death to normal adult stature and a low fracture incidence. The disorder is currently classified into seven types based on differences in clinical presentation and bone a...
متن کامل[Osteogenesis imperfecta: clinical and genetic heterogeneity].
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary connective tissue disorder characterized primarily by fractures with no or small causal antecedent; in most patients this is a consequence of diminished or abnormal production of collagen type I. It is a clinically heterogeneous disorder: it has been proposed recently to classify osteogenesis imperfecta in types I-V on the basis of the clinical picture an...
