Osteopetrosis is a rare familial disease, characterized roentgenographically by a marked increase in the radiodensity of bone and by abnormality in the shape of the long bone, especially the metaphysis. It was discovered fist by Albers-Schonberg in 1904 during an X-ray examination of a patient and is known as Albers-Schonberg disease, marble bone or osteosclerosis fragilis generalisata. We experienced a case of osteopetrosis in adult.

In general, bone homeostasis is maintained through the balance between bone formation and resorption. Disruption in this balance results in bone-related diseases such as osteopetrosis, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Often, enhanced osteoclastogenesis is followed by accelerated bone resorption that is induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines in osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis, and leads to bone destruction. In this review study, factors involved in osteoclast differentiation and function are discussed, and how the prevention of such factors is effective in ameliorating bone loss in osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis.

The authors experienced a case of osteopetrosis with optic atrophies and nystagmoid movements, exceedingly rare disease, in 12 year-old girl for 5 years without fracture in long bone. On the X-ray studies: 1. The skull bone showed moderately increased osteosclerotic changes in base of the skull and narrowings in optic foramina. 2. The findings of the extremities showed flask shaped deformities and cortical thickness in both femurs. and transverse line and epiphyseal separations in mid-tibia.

Osteopetrosis is a very rare bone dysplasia characterized by failure of resorption and persistence of calcified chondroid and primitive bone. We have experienced: a familial osteopetrosis, father and three siblings out of seven, which was thought to be a autosonal dominant inheritance. One of those family, 18 years old body, has been complained of low back pain without radiating pain to the lower extremities. No other clinical symptoms has manifested. The other 3 patients has not been complained of any clinical symptom, but X-Ray examination of the entire skeletal survey of those members of the family have revealed the uniform opacity of long bones and flat bones. The normal architecture was altered, with no distinction between cortical and cancellous bone in all long bones. Histologic picture have noted the irregular patches of immature chondro-osseous tissue embedded in the matrix of coarse fiber bone with a wide and prominent cement line.

Schwannoma is a benign tumor derived from Schwann cells which are usually found in the head, neck, trunk, upper and lower extremities, and rarely in the thoracolumbar junction. Also, osteopetrosis is an idiopathic genetic skeletal disease that rarely occurs. Most reports of osteopetrosis are about long bone fractures, but spinal tumor in osteopetrosis has been rarely reported. Furthermore, there is no report about thoracolumbar intradural Schwannoma and its treatment in patient with osteopetrosis. Thus, we report the clinical results of a thoracolumbar Schwannoma in a 36 year-old female osteopetrotic patient who had progressive weakness, and dysesthesia of the left lower limb. The patient underwent laminectomy and total excision of tumor through a posterior approach, and a favorable clinical outcome was achieved.

Four boys (2 months to 8 years old) were diagnosed with autosomal recessive form of osteopetrosis. Symptoms manifested in the first few months of life in 3 patients, and there was family history in 1. Primary symptoms included anemia, thrombocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, failure to thrive, recurrent infectious history and macrocephaly. The typical radiological images on plain radiogram were diffuse sclerosis, bone modelling defects at the metaphyses of long bones, "bone-in-bone" appearance, and "sandwich" vertebrae. Bone marrow biopsy showed markedly reduced platelets. Osteopetrosis refers to a group of rare, heritable disorders of the skeleton characterized by increased bone density on radiographs. Diffuse sclerosis leads to crowding of the bone marrow, resulting in anemia and extramedullary hemopoiesis. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is employed for the most severe forms associated with bone marrow failure and offers the best chance of longer-term survival.

BACKGROUND: Type II autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO II) is a rare genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by osteosclerosis and increased bone mass, predominantly involving spine, pelvis, and skull. It is closely related to functional defect of osteoclasts caused by chloride voltage-gated channel 7 (CLCN7) gene mutations. In this study, we aimed to identify the pathogenic mutation in a Korean patient with ADO II using whole exome sequencing. METHODS: We evaluated the clinical, biochemical, and radiographic analysis of a 68-year-old woman with ADO II. We also performed whole exome sequencing to identify pathogenic mutation of a rare genetic disorder of the skeleton. Moreover, a polymorphism phenotyping program, Polymorphism Phenotyping v2 (PolyPhen-2), was used to assess the effect of the identified mutation on protein function. RESULTS: Whole exome sequencing using peripheral leukocytes revealed a heterozygous c.296A>G missense mutation in the CLCN7 gene. The mutation was also confirmed using Sanger sequencing. The mutation c.296A>G was regarded to have a pathogenic effect by PolyPhen-2 software. CONCLUSION: We detect a heterozygous mutation in CLCN7 gene of a patient with ADO II, which is the first report in Korea. Our present findings suggest that symptoms and signs of ADO II patient having a c.296A>G mutation in CLCN7 may appear at a very late age. The present study would also enrich the database of CLCN7 mutations and improve our understanding of ADO II.

Osteopetrosis is a very rare hereditary musculoskeletal disorder with an unknown cause. There are few reports on this condition with most focusing on long bone fractures. Most patients with osteopetrosis require non-surgical treatment and surgery is technically difficult. Hallux valgus deformities in patients with osteopetrosis are always severe and there are no reports on its treatment. We treated a hallux valgus deformity using triple osteotomy method and experienced nonunion, subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and screw breakage. This is the first report of the surgical treatment of such a case in Korea. We report this case with a review of the relevant literature.
