Engelmann Syndrome (Osteopathia Hyperostotica [Scleroticans] Multiplex Infantilis; Diaphyseal Dysplasia; Camurati-Engelmann Disease; Hereditary Multiple Diaphyseal Sclerosis; Juvenile Paget Disease)
General: Etiology unknown; progressive resorption and deposits of bone with thickening of periosteum and changes of cortex as evident by diagnostic x-ray studies in the intermediate portion of the long bones.
Ocular: Exophthalmos; hypertelorism (secondary); ptosis; lagophthalmos; lateral rectus palsy; convergence insufficiency; epiphora; cataract; tortuous retinal vessels; papilledema; optic atrophy.
Clinical: Pain in extremities; poorly developed musculature; waddling gait; delayed ambulation; scaly skin; delayed dentition; deafness; hypogonadism; pain in both legs; aching in the forearms; episodic temporofrontal and occipital headache.
