Description
Summary:	Dysosteosclerosis is a rare genetic disorder with a poor prognosis. It is an osteochondrodysplasia similar to osteopetrosis but it is typically characterized by platyspondyly and expanded metaphyses. It shows complications such as compression of cranial nerves, especially the optic nerve, hematologic complications, fractures following mild injury, abnormal dentition, neurological and psychological deterioration, in addition to osteomyelitis of the mandible. We report a new case of dysosteosclerosis complicated by osteomyelitis of the lower maxilla.
