  • Title: Congenital rickets presenting with hypocalcaemic seizures.
    Author: Orbak Z, Karacan M, Doneray H, Karakelleoglu C.
    Journal: West Indian Med J; 2007 Sep; 56(4):364-7. PubMed ID: 18198743.
    Abstract:
    At Ataturk University Hospital, eight infants who presented with hypocalcaemic seizures were subsequently found to have rickets. Their mothers had osteomalacia. Neither mothers nor infants received vitamin D supplementation. Maternal vitamin D deficiency and non-supplementation in the infants were causes of rickets in these patients. It is recommended that neonatal hypocalcaemia may be due to maternal vitamin D deficiency and all unsupplemented vitamin D infants presenting with seizures should be investigated for rickets.
