Resumen
La ocronosis es la manifestación de la alcaptonuria en el tejido conjuntivo, se origina por la alteración en el metabolismo del ácido homogentísico, producto de la mutación autosómica recesiva del gen HGO, en el brazo largo del cromosoma 3 (3q21–23). Es una patología infrecuente, que se caracteriza por la presencia de calcificaciones de los discos intervertebrales y depósito de ácido homogentísico en el tejido conjuntivo y los tendones. Se presentan dos casos compatibles con las características clínicas y radiológicas de ocronosis.
Palabras clave:

Summary
Ochronosis is the manifestation of alkaptonuria in the connective tissue. It is originated by the alteration in the metabolism of homogentisic acid, a product of autosomal recessive mutation of HGO, gene in the long arm of chromosome 3 (3q21–23). It is a rare disease, characterized by the presence of calcifications in the intervertebral discs and deposit of homogentisic acid in connective tissue and tendons. We present two compatibles cases with the clinical and radiological features of ochronosis.
Key words:
ochronosis
alkaptonuria
calcification in intervertebral discs
