Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a common medical condition worldwide. In Iran, it has been reported that between 30-90% of people have vitamin D deficiency. However, its distribution in different parts of the country and among different age and regional groups is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review the recent literature on vitamin D deficiency in Iran. Methods: The literature review was performed using Web of Science, PubMed-Medline, Scopus and Scientific Information Database (SID) with a cut-off date of November 2016 to identify articles on vitamin D status in Iran published in the last 10 years. Studies in English and Persian that reported vitamin D levels in male and female subjects of all age groups and in healthy populations were included. Results: From 325 studies that were initially retrieved, 82 articles met the inclusion criteria. A high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was reported, and in some regions, this was reported as >90% and was found in all age groups and in all regions of Iran. Conclusion: This review highlights the very high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Iran. It will be important to recognize the importance of vitamin D deficiency as a major public health problem in Iran.

Vitamin D deficiency has been reported previously in patients with osteoarthritis undergoing total hip arthroplasty. We found a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in elderly patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis scheduled for total knee replacement and also a significant association with a lower preoperative functional state. A review of the literature is given on vitamin D deficiency in patients with knee osteoarthritis and the association with lower outcome scores after arthroplasty is discussed.

The high prevalence of vitamin D defi ciency worldwide and the associated increased risk for different pathologies require re-evaluation of this problem and its signifi cance. The wide spectrum of the diseases associated with vitamin D defi ciency explains the high scientifi c interest and increasing number of clinical trials in this area, and the involvement of larger populations into studies.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, also known as pseudotumor cerebri, is a disorder with raised intracranial pressure, headache, papilledema, visual disturbances with a normal cerebrospinal fluid examination, and normal neuroimaging. It is rare in the pediatric population and may occur as a manifestation of underlying disorders. Vitamin D deficiency is a common deficiency in the pediatric age group. However, neurological manifestations are rare. Here, we present the case of a 5-year-old male child who presented with headache, vomiting, and hypertension; however, the neurological examination was normal but the neuroimaging was suggestive of pseudotumor cerebri. Appropriate investigations were done. The most likely cause of pseudotumor cerebri in this patient was the deficiency of Vitamin D. We have reported this case as pseudotumor cerebri is a rare neurological manifestation of Vitamin D deficiency.
