Abstract:
Adolescence and pregnancy are periods with increased calcium requirement. Therefore, patients with underlying bone disease are at risk for further bone demineralization during these periods. In this article, the authors report on the treatment during pregnancy of an adolescent with idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis that resulted in a favorable outcome of maternal and fetal skeleton.
