Pregnancy complicated by a severe form of foetal osteogenesis imperfecta in a 17-year-old primigravida: case report and overview of literature

Abstract

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an important inheritable thanetrophic disorder with wide ranging variable implications and prognosis for babies in utero and those who survive the perinatal period. The diagnosis of the severe forms can be readily made but some forms of the disease are known to go unrecognised until childhood.
