Reflex sympathetic dystrophy in hypophosphataemic osteomalacia with femoral neck fracture: a case report

We report a male patient who presented with suspicion of skeletal metastases based upon an abnormal 99‐mTc bone scan, which showed increased uptake at both femoral heads, left femoral neck, and several ribs. The images also suggested reflex sympathetic dystrophy, subcapital fracture of the left femu...

Summary:We report a male patient who presented with suspicion of skeletal metastases based upon an abnormal 99‐mTc bone scan, which showed increased uptake at both femoral heads, left femoral neck, and several ribs. The images also suggested reflex sympathetic dystrophy, subcapital fracture of the left femur, and rib fractures. A diagnosis of hypophosphataemic osteomalacia was finally made.
