Wormian bone-multiple fractures-dentinogenesis imperfecta-skeletal dysplasia syndrome is a rare genetic bone disorder which is characterized by the presence of wormian bones in the skull, dentinogenesis imperfecta, recurrent bone fractures, hypertelorism, and eye puffiness.[1][2] This disorder is unique from osteogenesis imperfecta because of the presence of cortical defects and the absence of defective collagen or osteopenia.[3] It is not exactly known whether this condition is autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive.
It has been described in 2 non-consanguineous families.[4][5]
