Oxalosis of bone: report of four cases and a new radiological staging.
Oxalosis of bone is caused by a combination of crystalline calcium oxalate deposition in bone and renal osteodystrophy in patients with chronic renal failure. The present paper presents the radiographic findings of oxalosis of bone in four patients who have been followed over a period of from 4 to 16 years. Four successive characteristic stages can be recognized in the development of the skeletal changes.
