Uremic lion face syndrome. J Bras Nefrol. 2019 Jan 21;: Authors: Gameiro J, Duarte I, Outerelo C, Lopes JA Abstract Mineral bone disorder is a common feature of chronic kidney disease. Lion face syndrome is rare complication of severe hyperparathyroidism in end-stage renal disease patients, which has been less commonly reported due to dialysis and medical treatment advances in the last decade. The early recognition of the characteristic facial deformity is crucial to prompt management and prevent severe disfigurement. The authors present a rare case of severe hyperparathyroidism presenting with lion face syndrome and bone fractures. PMID: 30720853 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
