Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) constitutes a complex connective tissue disorder extending beyond its hallmark bone fragility. This case report explores the intricate diagnostic journey involving an elderly patient with acute chest pain, blue sclerae, and multiple fractures. Despite a thorough cardiac evaluation yielding normal results, the complex medical history and phenotypic markers directed attention toward musculoskeletal factors, underlining the importance of comprehensive diagnostic approaches in hereditary conditions like OI.
