Variété d'ostéodysplasie structurale héréditaire entraînant une ostéoporose généralisée sévère, se traduisant par de multiples fractures spontanées et des déformations osseuses. Il s'y associe presque toujours une coloration bleue des sclérotiques et parfois une surdité (syndrome ou triade de Van der Hoeve). L'affection comporte des degrés de gravité variables qui ont fait artificiellement distinguer deux formes : l'ostéogénèse imparfaite congénitale et l'ostéogénèse imparfaite tardive.
