    Notes: Abstract A 68-year-old man is presented with a reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) of the right ankle diagnosed by radiography, magnetic resonance imaging and bone scintiscan. Investigations, including blood tests and bone biopsy, revealed a diagnosis of metabolic acidosis and osteomalacia. These appeared to result from a ureterosigmoidostomy performed 9 years previously for a transitional carcinoma of the bladder. Correction of the metabolic acidosis coincided with improvement in ankle pain. RSDS may be the initial presentation of osteomalacia, which in turn may be caused by the metabolic acidosis resulting from a ureterosigmoidostomy.

    Notes: Abstract A 12-year-old female suffering fromosteogenesis imperfecta (OI) was treated with 3-amino-1-hydroxypropylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (APD) orally, 250 mg daily, for periods of 2 months, alternating with periods of 2 months of abstinence. Total duration of therapy was 1 year. Radiological and clinical improvement was striking. Furthermore, X-rays of the bones showed large, parallel radio-opaque striae, corresponding exactly to the periods of therapy. These were present in all metaphyses.

    Notes: Summary The case of a 49-year-old woman suffering from generalized skeletal pain and multiple fractures accompanied by severe hypophosphataemia and low urinary phosphorus excretion is reported. She had been taking large amounts of antacids containing aluminum hydroxide for many years. A diagnosis of antacid-induced osteomalacia was made. It was confirmed by biological work-up, radiographs and bone biopsy. A dramatic biological, osteodensitometric, and clinical improvement was achieved by withdrawal of antacids and phosphorus administration. The literature concerning this unusual condition has been reviewed.
