Description
Summary:This work was developed by an OI referencial center, involving studies of pacients during the treatment between 1995 and 2005. Fifteen pacients´ records were selected, the average of their age was 8,2 years old. As a result, we got eleven females and four males, six of them held the type I of OI; five, the type III; and four, types IV. In seven cases the broken bones occurrence was higher with the three-year-old children. Cases of OI ancestors were found in different levels of kinship: six of them could walk and nine had difficulty walking or simply could not. Regarding the deformities, 13 of them had bluish sclera; nine, dentinogenesis imperfecta; one, visual accuracy problems; and five had no deformities.
