AB Osteogenesis  imperfecta  (OI)  is  a  hereditary  connective  tissue  disorder.  The  disease  manifests  on  a  spectrum  with  patients  with  more  severe  disease  often  suffering  from  fractures  with  minimal  or  no  trauma.  Very  severe  forms  of  disease  can  result  in  perinatal  death.  OI  manifests  most  commonly  as  excess  or  atypical  fractures,  but  other  findings  include  short  statures,  hearing  loss,  easy  bruising,  and  a  scleral  tint  with  the  sclerae  commonly  appearing  blue.
