Much confusion exists in the accurate identification and
classification of the many disorders in infancy which affect the
skeleton by producing sclerosing lesions throughout the entire
skeleton or in selected areas. A scholarly effort to bring order
into this confusing field must be welcomed. Professors Beighton and
Cremin have skillfully defined the problem and concisely yet
thoroughly have identified the various sclerosing dysplasias. They
bring to this task a wealth of clinical experience in their many
years in the Departments of Radiology at the University of Cape
Town Medical School and the Groote Schuur and Red Cross Children's
Hospitals in Cape Town, South Africa. The authors also have had
available data from the University of Cape Town Skeletal Dysplasia
Registry. Professors Beighton and Cremin have used as a basis for
their treatise the Paris Nomenclature (the modified version of
1977). This monograph is a felicitous combination of a working
atlas and a scholarly exposition of the various sclerosing bone
dysplasias, considering in detail eighteen major entities adopted
from the Paris classification. Other disorders which present with
osteosclerosis are also described. These include Caffey disease,
oculodento-osseous dysplasia, central osteosclerosis with bamboo
hair, fluorosis, osteosclerosis associated with renal disease and
mastocytosis.
