This study found that intravenous high dose calcium infusions followed by high dose oral calcium effectively treated vitamin D dependent rickets type II, leading to complete biochemical and radiological healing and improved growth in two patients.

This report describes siblings with vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2, characterized by growth retardation, alopecia totalis, and low 25(OH)D3 levels, highlighting its autosomal recessive pattern and distinction from other rickets types.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

In this case report, a four-year-old girl was diagnosed with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, manifesting as diffuse alopecia, frontal bossing, hypoplastic teeth, and skin-colored papules, due to a genetic mutation causing resistance to 1.25-dihydroxy vitamin D.

This case study describes a 5-year-old boy with vitamin D dependent rickets type 2, motor delays, and alopecia totalis who showed improved biochemical parameters with calcium and calcitriol treatment.
