Hypophosphatasia: the contribution of imaging.

Radiography and imaging are necessary for the diagnosis of hypophosphatasia (HPP) at all stages of life, from the antenatal period to the complications of adulthood, and in the forms of variable severity. The consequences of alkaline phosphatase activity deficiency, namely defective mineralization and bone fragility, may be detected by radiological tools and share features that distinguish them from other diseases responsible for mineralization defects. Radiography and imaging are also fundamental for the screening and diagnosis of the complications of HPP, some of which are related to the episodes of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia (nephrocalcinosis). Radiologists should be aware of the particularities of HPP to efficiently orient the patients toward optimal medical care.
