Abstract
Figure 1:
The classic blue sclera of a patient with type 1 osteogenesis imperfecta. Due to a defect in type 1 collagen, the overlying sclera is abnormally thin, resulting in increased visibility of the underlying choroidal veins and the blue color of the eyes. This patient also had a history of more than forty bone fractures throughout his life.
