Abstract

<p class="abstract">Pycnodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive sclerosing bone disorder characterized by generalized diffuse osteosclerosis. Patients usually have a large head with separated sutures, open fontanels, aplasia of frontal sinuses, obtuse mandibular gonial angle and acroosteolysis of distal phalanges and multiple long bone fractures.
