title: Convulsion as a possible manifestation of vitamin D deficiency rickets in infants one to six months of age.
abstract: During the 42 months of January 1985 through June 1988, five infants between the ages of one and six months had hypocalcemic convulsions associated with vitamin D deficiency rickets. Despite abundant sunlight, convulsions as a manifestation of vitamin D deficiency in young infants are not uncommon in Saudi Arabia and should be considered as a probable cause for hypocalcemic seizure in breast fed infants.
