Abstract
Osteopetrosis is a hereditary bone disease with intense positive balance of body calcium. Infantile variety is often associated with rickets--a paradoxical association. Two siblings with osteopetro rickets are reported in the article. The pathophysiologic mechanism of the paradoxical association has been explained and various management options have been discussed. Both cases were treated with high dose calcitriol and calcium supplements.
