The radiographs demonstrate universal sclerotic bone and the classic rugger jersey spine of osteopetrosis. Also called marble bone disease, it is a group of disorders characterized by abnormal osteoclast function. Poor bone resorption results in dense, sclerotic bone susceptible to pathologic fracture. The infantile, also called "malignant," form of the disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion (maps to chromosome 11q13). The adult, "benign," form of the disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.
