J Paediatr Child Health. 1997 Feb;33(1):78-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1440-1754.1997.tb00997.x.

Abstract

A report of three cases of craniosynostosis in X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets (XLH) is presented. The literature is reviewed, suggesting that craniosynostosis is relatively common in XLH and that boys may be more at risk than girls. It is recommended that radiological screening be offered to all patients with XLH.
