Description
Kritin Verma and co-authors present a 2024 case of biparietal osteodystrophy, a rare illness that thins both parietal bones of the skull in a matching pattern. It most often affects women in their sixties and seventies. Their patient was a 73-year-old woman with weak bones and joint disease who came to a skin clinic with a bulging mass near the top of her head.
She also reported spells of dizziness and blurred vision, and she had a past head injury, though the skull change came first. Scans showed loss of bone on both sides with no brain abnormality, and lab tests were mostly normal apart from high vitamin D. She was sent to a nerve specialist for more checks. The case reminds skin doctors to keep this rare condition in mind.
