Abstract

ABSTRACT

Osteopetrosis (Albers-Schonberg disease) is a rare sclerosing bone disorder in which bone marrow is obliterated. Owing to pancytopenia, infections can occur. In this study an infantile osteopetrosis complicated with subperiosteal orbital abscess is presented and magnetic resonance imaging findings described which to our knowledge no such togetherness has been mentioned before.
