ETXEBARRIA-FORONDA, I.  y  GOROSTIOLA-VIDAURRAZAGA, L.. Zebra lines: Radiological repercussions of the action of bisphosphonates on the immature skeleton. Rev Osteoporos Metab Miner [online]. 2013, vol.5, n.1, pp.39-41. ISSN 2173-2345.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1889-836X2013000100007.

The bisphosphonates are used in the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta, with a reduction in fractures in these patients observed with their use. However, the use of these drugs on the immature skeleton in these patients results in the formation of some radiologically visible hyperdense linear bands called zebra lines. We present the case of a patient with osteogenesis perfecta who started treatment with bisphosphonates at 10 years of age and after 2 years already showed these radiological images.

Palabras clave : zebra lines; bisphosphonates; osteogenesis imperfecta.
