A Case of Gerodermia Osteodysplastica Diagnosed by Recurrent Pathologic Fractures

Abstract

Gerodermia osteodysplastica (GO) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. We report the case of a 33-year-old patient with GO, with generalized osteoporosis and frequent spontaneous fractures. We should consider this condition in the differential diagnosis of a patient with frequent spontaneous fractures.
