Abstract

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare autosome dominant disease in which there are anomalies in the synthesis of collagen affecting the connective tissue leading to multiple fractures. We present the case of a 38-week newborn from Pichari born of a cesarean section who presented respiratory failure. The patient presented crackles on the joints and was diagnosed on clinical grounds of osteogenesis imperfecta.
