Uremic leontiasis ossea is a very rare manifestation of renal osteodystrophy with associated secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism, resulting in a diffuse and symmetrical enlargement of the craniofacial bones. Although its pathophysiology remains uncertain, it seems that hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia secondary to chronic renal failure are...
Background: Hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease have low glomerular filtration rates, and hyperphosphatemia develops due to difficulty reducing the phosphate load. Hyperphosphatemia can cause renal osteodystrophy, cardiovascular calcification, and secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Methods: This is a descriptive research study designed to...
Introduction
Spontaneous femur neck fracture is rare, especially when they occur bilaterally. Renal osteodystrophy is among the causes of these fractures that should be kept in mind. We report a case of a young female who presented with bilateral hip pain and was found to have bilateral femur neck fracture due to renal osteodystrophy. This was the...
BACKGROUND
Diffuse spinal dural calcification is a rare disorder associated with hyperparathyroidism, including the secondary forms associated with renal failure, osteodystrophy, and chronic hypocalcemia. Here, the authors report a rare case of diffuse dural calcification causing spinal cord compression with myelopathy, requiring decompressive surg...
