[Striated osteopathy].

Striated osteopathy, a roentgenological entity characterized by longitudinal striations, can occur concomitantly with a number of disorders which should be routinely looked for. There are three types of striated osteopathy. The pure form without severe bone disorders is the form originally reported by Voorhoeve. In the second form, there is a concomitant fibrous dysplasia, such as Jaffe-Lichtenstein-Uehlinger disease, Ollier enchondromatosis, sponastrism dysplasia, or osteopetrosis. This group also includes bone dysplasias with sclerosis such as melorheostosis, osteopecilia, and sclerosis of the base of the skull which is sometimes seen in patients with striated osteopathy. In the third form, striated osteopathy occurs concomitantly with a skin disease such as patchy dermal hypoplasia or hyperpigmented skin lesions.
