| Popis: | In summary, a case is reported of a patient with the radiographic findings of diffuse, symmetrical metaphyseal osteopenia of long bones. A constellation termed neo-osseous porosis, associated with polyendocrine failure (Schmidt syndrome) involving the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and gonads has been described in this case. Neo-osseous porosis has been observed previously in idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis. This case represents the first instance in which this distinctive radiographic picture has been observed in the setting of specific (multiple) endocrine dysfunction disorders. |
