OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA: A CASE REPORT IN A SET OF TWINS IN LAUTECH TEACHING HOSPITAL, OGBOMOSO, NIGERIA

Osteogenesis imperfect is a rare form of congenital skeletal anomaly. The diagnosis of the condition in a set of twins is very rare, especially in this young tertiary institution, thus inspiring this write up. At birth, they were found to be small for gestational age. Their heads were large and their limbs were grossly deformed due to multiple fractures. They both had osteogenesis imperfecta (Type III) which is known to be a cause of perinatal deaths.
