Nephrolithiasis as a Complication of Immobilization Induced Hypercalcemia

[摘要] Background: Immobility induced hypercalcemia has been reported in few studies in pediatric population. Although not a common presentation, children are in a state of high bone turnover, and are considered prone to the imbalance of osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity that occurs with prolonged immobility, which lead to hypercalcemia. Case Report: Here in we are reporting a case of a 10 years old child with prolonged immobilization secondary to motor vehicle accident, who suffered from traumatic pancreatitis, and nephrolithiasis. Conclusion: This case study highlights the importance of following patients with risk factors for hypercalcemia including immobilization.
