Rickets refers to a deficient mineralization of the growth plate cartilage, predominantly affecting longer bones. Despite the fact that preventive measures are available, it is still a common disease worldwide; nutritional rickets, due to vitamin D deficiency or dietary calcium inadequate intake, remains the most common form. Medical history, physical examination, radiologic features and biochemical tests are essential for diagnosis. Although recent studies suggest hypophosphatemia as the leading alteration, rickets is classically divided into two categories: calcipenic rickets and phosphopenic rickets. Knowledge of this categorization and of respective clinical and laboratory features is essential for rapid diagnosis and correct management. The aim of this review is to analyze the epidemiological, pathogenetic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of the different forms of rickets, describing the novelties on this “long-lived” disease.

Potential Association

Abstract Objectives Nutritional rickets may be a preventable cause of craniosynostosis. This potential association is under-recognised. A late diagnosis of craniosynostosis may result in reduced brain growth, raised intracranial pressure and long-term psychosocial problems. Case presentation We present four cases of craniosynostosis associated with nutritional rickets. Those who had delayed presentation underwent emergency craniotomy. Conclusions Treatment of nutritional rickets and early identification of craniosynostosis can reduce morbidity in these children.

Abstract Objective: To compare the efficacy of daily versus low dose depot oral vitamin D3 for treating nutritional rickets. Design: Randomized Controlled Trial Setting: Paediatrics department of a tertiary care hospital catering to semi-urban and rural population in Delhi, India Methods: We randomized 66 children aged 3 months to 5 years with nutritional rickets to receive either daily oral vitamin D3 drops (3-12 months: 2000 IU; >12 months-5y: 4000 IU; n=33) for 12 weeks duration, or a single oral depot dose of vitamin D3 granules (3-12 months: 60,000 IU; >12 months-5y: 150,000 IU; n=33). Results: Participants in both groups had comparable demographic characteristics, laboratory features and radiological severity of rickets. 33 participants in each group received the assigned intervention and all were followed up till 12 weeks. At 12 weeks follow up, children in both groups showed a significant improvement in all biochemical parameters [serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathormone and 25(OH) vitamin D levels] as well as radiological healing. At 12 weeks, the mean (SD) serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels (nmol/L) were statistically comparable in both groups [daily: 120.2 (83.2), depot: 108 (74), P=0.43] and 31 (94%) children in each group had radiological healing (Thacher score <1.5). Two children in each group persisted to have raised alkaline phosphatase and one child each in the daily group continued to have hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia at 12 weeks. Conclusion: Low dose oral depot vitamin D3 is an effective alternative to daily oral vitamin D3 for nutritional rickets.
