Preterm delivery, enhancement of bone include advanced bone age, craniosynostosis, and microcephaly may be present. Ventriculomegaly and hydrocephalus may present rarely, and just three cases were reported previously. Craniosynostosis is a risk factor for delayed cerebral development, hydrocephalus, and psychomotor retardation. Craniolacunia (...

Background: The clinical diagnosis of x-linked hypophosphatemic (XLH) rickets is based on a number of biochemical observations. These include a reduction in the percentage of tubular reabsorption of phosphate (%TRP), and in the maximal tubular phosphate reabsorption capacity corrected for glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR). However, it is important to maintain sufficient renal blood flow in order to accurately calculate TmP/GFR.Objective: The aims of t...
