Abstract

We describe a case of pelvic narrowing in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type III and complications consisting of deep venous thrombosis, hydronephrosis and faeculomas. The literature is reviewed and the management is discussed. Conclusion: Monitoring of OI type III patients for pelvic narrowing and complications is recommended.
