Abstract
Osteopetrosis is a rare hereditary bone disorder that results in an increase in bone density due to gene
mutations and osteoclastic dysfunction. This may lead to cranial nerve compression, bone fractures and
osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis of the maxilla is rare even in osteopetrosis patients.
