This condition is characterized by excessive osteoclastic resorption of bone followed by deposition of weak, disorganized woven bone. Clinical characteristics include short stature, enlarged skull, bony deformities, bone pain, warm skin over the affected bone, joint stiffness, headaches, hearing loss, and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase.
