Abstract

One of the frequent manifestations of beta-thalassemia is the defeat of the bones of the skeleton in the form of local or diffuse hyperostosis, which may lead to a number of neurological and osteoarticular complications. The authors demonstrate pathognomonic changes in the bones of the facial skeleton in beta-thalassemia, and discuss the features of the radiation pattern and the differential diagnosis of this pathology.
