Abstract
Osteomalacia is a metabolic bone disease, which occurs due to impaired bone mineralization resulted from insufficient activity of vitamin D. Main reasons for vitamin D deficiency include malabsorptive states, diet with poor vitamin D and calcium content, insufficient sunlight exposure and higher numbers of birth. Gluten sensitive enteropathy is one of the most common causes of malabsorption. Gluten sensitive enteropathy is classically manifested with diarrhea, flatulence, weight loss and malabsorption. However, it can also present with non-gastrointestinal symptoms and signs, as it can be recognized by non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms. We presented a case that referred with gait abnormality and hip pain due to osteomalacia and was diagnosed as gluten-sensitive enteropathy.
