Hyperphosphatasemia: CT assessment.
Hyperphosphatasemia is a rare disorder of uncertain cause. A 39-year-old male exhibiting striking skeletal deformities consisting of enlargement of the skull, enlargement and bowing of the long bones, neurosensorial symptoms and elevated alkaline phosphatase is the subject of this report. In the past, the radiological workup has been limited to plain films. We advocate CT in the assessment of neurological signs and symptoms which may complicate this disease.
