Rickets Flashcards
what is the requirement of vitamin D of full term and when to start?
400IU\10ug\at birth
requirement of preterm , twins and low birth weight of vitmain D and when ?
400-800IU\at the age of 1 month
what is the normal serum calcium
9-11mg\dl
normal serum of phosphate
4.5-5.5 mg\dl
what is the structure of normal bone
matrix osteoid and minerals
what are the bone layers
zone of resting cartilage :1layer
zone of profilerating cartilage:6-8
zone of degenerating cartilage:deposition of Ca and ph
zone fo calcification: invasion by BV and osteoblasts with minerlaization
define rickets
Defective minerlaization of the growing bone so disease of childhood
pathophysiology of rickets
- proliferation without ossification
- epiphysis : failure of ca and ph depostion in the cartilage cells leading fo excess cartilage that invade the metaphysis(broadening and fraying
- diaphysis : bone rarefaction and fracture
types of rickets 4
- vitamin D deficiency rickets with 2ry ++parathyroidism:
a. –intake of vitD b.malabsorption(small, large, liver, panceras
c. hepatic disease(activation d. renal osteodystrophy(activation - primary PO4 deficiency no 2ry ++parathyroid:
a. X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets a. Fanconi syndrom: PCT dysfunction(gluco, phosphato, amino, uria - end organ resistance to vit D
- hypophosphatasis
types of rickets according to nutrition : and compare
nutritional vitamin D deficiency rickets : more common , 6month -2years , response to vitD good
Non-nutritional vit D de ric: less common , any age , poor
etiology of nutritional vit D D rickets
a. inadequate intake of vit D : prolonged exclusive breast milk
cow milk: non optimum ca\ph ratio
b. inadequate sun exposure:
Wrapping Winter Windows Dark skinned people
what is the rachitogenic diet
deficient in vit D ,, deficient in Ca and PO4
non optimum ca:p ratio +++ content of phytate or oxalates
what is the first sign to appear in rickets
craniotabes
what is the first sign to appear in rickets
craniotabes
what are the CP of the head in the skeletal rickets 5
- crainotabes: ping-pong ball sensation on pressing over the occiput=thinning
- frontal bossing
- macrocephaly
4, delayed closure of AF - delayed dentition
CP of limbs in rickets4
1.broadening of the ends of long bones
2.marfan sign: transverse groove across medial malleolus
3. deformities of the UL: convexity of the forearm if crawling
4. deformities of the LL:
genu varum: bow legs
genu valgum: knock knees
genu recurvatum: overextension of the knees
CP of chest in rickets 4
- rosary beads: cartilage proliferation at the costochondral junctions
- pigeon chest: ++AP diameter of the chest : protrusion of the sternum+rib flaring
- harrison sulcus:horizontal groove along the costal insertion of the diaphragm
- longitudinal sulcus: vertical groove behind rosary beads
cp of spine in rickets 4
due to laxity of ligament
kyphosis:correctable:DD of pott disease
scoliosis
kyphoscoliosis
lumber lordosis
CP of pelvis in rickest
contracted plevis important in females
CP of muscles and ligaments in rickets 3
hypotonia due to hypophosphatemia leading to
Delayed Downward Distension
1. delayed motor milestones;sitting , crawling , standing, walking
2. downward displacement of liver and spleen(visceroptosis)
3. abdominal distension dueto: hypotonia, visceroptosis not enlargement, constipation
