Abstract
Rickets, whether due to lack of proper nutrition or secondary to disease or medication, may be unexpectedly detected on radiographs obtained for other reasons. Several recent examples are reported here. It is important to be aware of the manifestations of rickets so that appropriate treatment is not delayed. Physicians should be alert for signs of rickets in the x-ray examination of any child.
