Hypercalcaemia in osteogenesis imperfecta treated with pamidronate

C J Williams et al. Arch Dis Child. 1997 Feb.

Abstract

The response to the bisphosphonate, pamidronate, is reported in a child with osteogenesis imperfecta who had recurrent symptomatic hypercalcaemia after immobilisation following fractures. Oral clodronate was effective in the prevention of immobilisation hypercalcaemia in the same child. The bisphosphonates may have other roles in osteogenesis imperfecta by decreasing bone turnover.
