    Abstract:
    The aim of this study is to evaluate the occurrence of idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis by clinical, radiographic and biochemical methods in 7 patients aged 10 years to 18 years. The prevailing clinical symptoms included pain in the lower limbs and spine, gait disturbances and weak muscles; confirmed fractures were seen in four out of seven patients. In all patients, bone mineral density was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and calcium-phosphorus metabolism assays were performed. Clinical evaluation of our patients revealed a wide variety of classic clinical symptoms, and also radiographic and biochemical features. In this complex evaluation, we can distinguish two types of disease occurrence, mild and acute.
