ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Osteogenesis imperfecta is an hereditary disorder of the connective tissue that conditions to bone fragility and sensitivity to fractures. It is a systemic disease with a possibility of skeletic and extraskeletic affectations. Therefore, its care is multidisciplinary and the role of Pediatrics professionals is paramount.
Objective:
Contribute with information on the characteristics and the care of osteogenesis imperfecta through the description of a clinical case.
Case presentation:
Boy of 2 years and 3 months old, from Algeria and with parents by blood. He was diagnosed in his country with a recesive osteogenesis imperfecta in the first months of life due to repeated fractures.
Conclusions:
Careful handling, pain control and emotional support, among others, are important. Pediatric professionals as active agents in these cases should know the peculiarities of the care of patients with osteogenesis imperfecta to avoid and detect asssociated complications. In the families, knowledge on this also entails sanitary awareness on the disease.
