Abstract

Although rickets in premature newborns is known to occur, term babies presenting at birth is uncommon. We report a term baby born to a mother with osteomalacia, and presented at birth with signs of florid rickets which was confirmed biochemically. After 4 weeks of treatment, radiological signs of healing were seen.
