Osteopetrosis groups together a set of bone diseases characterized by a considerable increase in bone density. Also known as marble or Albers-Schönberg disease. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman, white skin color, female, with a family pathological history of arterial hypertension and osteopetrosis. Radiological studies were positive and confirmed the diagnosis of marble osteopetrosis in the benign form. X-rays were performed, observing multiple bone lesions, functional integrative treatment guidelines were applied, as well as the use of M.N.T. At the end of the conclusion of both phases, the patient has decreased pain, has improved his psychological state, has gained in independence, and therefore in his quality of life.

Keywords : Marble osteopetrosis; Bone diseases.
