β¦ Synopsis
Osteopathia striata (OS) is a rare bone dysplasia characterized by longitudinal sclerotic striations of the long bones. It is of no clinical importance, but OS associated with cranial sclerosis represents a separate entity with a high incidence of palatine malformations and deafness. Only 19 cases of this entity have been reported in the literature. One patient of this series also had facial nerve paralysis. This paper presents a second case of O S, cranial sclerosis, palatine pathology and recurrent facial nerve paralysis. This incidence of 2/20 (10%) does not seem to be coincidental but raises the possibility that facial nerve palsy is one of the clinical manifestations of this specific bone abnormality.

Osteopathia striata is a manifestation of several bone dysplasias. In association with cranial sclerosis it represents a separate entity, which is not limited to the bones but may affect other structures, leading to abnormal face, cleft palate, deafness, heart defects, and vertebral anomalies.

Sclerosing bone dysplasias are diagnosed on the basis of a characteristic pattern of osteosclerosis and clinical manifestations; in many of them, cause and pathogenesis are still unknown. A 33-year-old man had five fractures of the humerus, tibiae, and femur as a result of mild traumatic incidents t
