title: [Osteomalacia and anticonvulsant treatment in bedridden patients. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: This article sets two bedridden mental retarded clinical cases, under a long run anticonvulsive treatment, who suffered from an osteomalacia syndrome, concealed until spontaneous fractures occurred and cured by a calcifediol treatment. Through these two cases, we remind you that in a psychiatric hospital, and in particular among mental retarded patients, anticonvulsive therapy can easily coincide with feeding problems and lack of period of sunshine. The osteomalacia risk is no longer exceptional and is to be considered since its detection and treatment are simple and results are convincing.
