This is a condition called OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA. The condition is due to a defect in Connective tissue type I, it manifests with blue sclera, and weak , brittle bones. It is very common in poor and impoverished communities.

Standard presentation ni sa MEDICAL BOARD EXAM QUESTIONNAIRE VIGNETTE sa USMLE (United States Medical Licensure Examination)

The picture does not show it, but the boy's legs are probably bowed, has a history of breaking bones. Also, note that the child has grey hairs , located on the patient's left side sa ulo. Classical presentation ni: PEDIATRIC PATIENT, with BLUE SCLERA, history of BROKEN BONES, and GREY HAIR.


   

In addition, I would also confidently claim that the child probably also has KWASHIORKOR's DISEASE secondary to OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA.
