Abstract
Melorheostosis is a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia which is
characterized by a localized, diffuse thickening of the cortical bone
mainly affecting diaphysis of long bones, and bones of hand and feet
unilaterally. Involvement of the maxillofacial region is rare and the
diagnosis is mainly based on radiographic features. We report a rare
case of a 5 year old girl with Osteosclerotic Bone Dysplasia
(Melorheotosis) of multiple craniofacial bones.
