Which of the following condition gives the characteristic radiological finding “bone within a bone” appearance?
Correct Answer: Osteopetrosis
Description: Radiologic examination of osteopetrosis shows increased bone density and transverse bands in the shafts, clubbing of ends, and veical striations of long bones. Thickening about the cranial foramina is present, and heterotopic calcification of soft tissues is possible. Other characteristic findings include a miniature bone inset within each veebral body (bone-within-a bone appearance) and increased density at the end plates (sandwich veebrae).
