Abstract:
We present a case of nutritional rickets in a young child due to a macrobiotic diet. The child presented with important thoracic deformation and breathing difficulties. Plain radiographs appeared to be an excellent method for the diagnosis and follow-up of the bony lesions in this disorder. We describe the typical bony abnormalities related to this relative rare disease.
