Rickets: Not Just a Disease Caused by Vitamin D Deficiency

A 2-year, 10-month-old White girl presented to a pediatric clinic with an abnormal wide gait and genu varum. She had been an established patient at the clinic since her 4-month well-child visit. Concerns regarding her motor development were noted at her 6-month well-child visit, when she presented with generalized muscle hypotonia, was unable to roll supine to prone or prone to supine, and was unable to sit unassisted. Additionally, the patient had dropped to the 5th to 10th percentile for weight at 6 months from the 25th percentile at her 4-month visit.
