Özet

Introduction: Osteopetrosis is a rare disorder of osteoclast function resulting in failure of resorption and increased bone density. Rickets is a paradoxical complication of osteopetrosis. In this article, we report a 3-month old infant, examined because of right inguinal swelling and hepatosplenomegaly who was diagnosed with osteopetrosis and rickets, a rare association.
