“…The appearance consists of irregular hyperostotic cortex changes usually on one side of the bone and resembles melted wax dripping down one side of a candle. 6 In our case ulnar side of the left 2. metacarpal bone revealed a sclerotic linear area and resembled flowing candle wax, the classic appearance of melorheostosis. There is usually a demarcation line between the affected bone and normal bone.…”

“…It is most common in the diaphysis of long bones, and bones of hand and feet unilaterally. [3,5,6,10,13] Exclusive craniofacial skeleton involvement by melorheostosis is very rare. Literature search was conducted using PubMed, Query, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases using the following terms: melorheostosis, jaw, mandible, maxilla, craniofacial, and dripping candle wax.…”

Melorheostosis is a rare sclerosing bone dysplasia which is characterized by a localized, diffuse thickening of the cortical bone mainly affecting diaphysis of long bones, and bones of hand and feet unilaterally. Involvement of the maxillofacial region is rare and the diagnosis is mainly based on radiographic features. We report a rare case of a 5 year old girl with Osteosclerotic Bone Dysplasia (Melorheotosis) of multiple craniofacial bones.

Melorheostosis is an uncommon mesenchymal dysplasia that rarely affects the axial skeleton. We describe two atypical cases of melorheostosis with classical imaging findings – the first one involving the cervico-dorsal spine with encroachment of left vertebral artery canal causing attenuation of the left vertebral artery and the second one of mixed sclerosing bony dysplasia (monomelic involvement coexisting with osteopoikilosis).
