Article Synopsis
- Eagle syndrome is a bone disease causing the styloid process (a small bone near the neck) to grow too long, leading to pain in the throat and neck.
- A study looked at 6 patients and found they mostly had neck pain, a feeling like something is stuck in their throat, and difficulty swallowing.
- The researchers discovered that the elongated styloid processes were made of mature bone and might be growing differently than what was previously thought, which helps understand why this happens.
Article Synopsis
- - Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder affecting collagen type I, leading to fragile bones and a heightened risk of eye diseases due to collagen's role in various eye tissues.
- - The sclera, which contains a significant amount of collagen type I, is crucial for eye structure and has a unique fiber arrangement that may provide support to the optic nerve; however, the effects of abnormal collagen on this tissue are not fully understood.
- - This study used polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) to analyze collagen fiber orientation in the sclera near the optic nerve in individuals with OI compared to healthy individuals, showing that the orientation patterns were similar between the two groups.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable connective tissue disorder that causes bone fragility due to pathogenic variants in genes responsible for the synthesis of type I collagen. Efforts to classify the high clinical variability in OI led to the Sillence classification. However, this classification only partially takes into account extraskeletal manifestations and the high genetic variability.

In this report, we describe the case of a 34-year old woman diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and multiple vertebral fractures after her first pregnancy, who was subsequently treated with teriparatide (TPTD) and zoledronic acid (ZA). We describe the clinical features, imaging examination, and genetic analysis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOsteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a complex disease caused by genetic alterations in production of collagen type I, and collagen-related proteins. Bone fragility is the most common patient issue, but extraskeletal complications also present an adverse factor in the quality of life and prognosis of patients with OI. However, still little is known about the morbidity and mortality of these patients.
