Uremic leontiasis ossia (ULO) is a rare condition linked to renal osteodystrophy in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH), causing bone deformities that can lead to a 'leonine' facial appearance.
The case study focuses on a 39-year-old female patient undergoing treatment, who exhibited significant symptoms and had elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, confirmed by CT scans.
Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach including surgery and management of SHPTH to correct anatomical issues and prevent further complications.
