OSTEOPOIKILOSIS OF THE FOOT BONES IN CHILDREN

The clinical cases of rather a rare systemic congenital pathology of the skeleton – osteopoikilosis (scattered sclerosing or spotted numerous osteopathy) is described in the article. The disease was initially diagnosed in one of twin sisters during X-ray examination of the right foot. During X-ray examination of the other sister the presence of the focal changes was also revealed and they were more marked with sclerosis foci spreading to the tibial and fibular metaphyses. The aim of this report is to inform practitioners about the possibility of revelation in children of the systemic osteal disease – osteopoikilosis.
