The above-given picture demonstrates the radiological features of scurvy or vitamin C deficiency.
Radiological features of scurvy: Generalised osteopenia Cortical thinning: “pencil-point cortex”( There is thinning of the cortex of the shaft) Periosteal reaction due to subperiosteal hemorrhage Scorbutic rosary: Expansion of the costochondral junctions Hemarthrosis Wimberger ring: Circular, opaque radiological shadow surrounding epiphyseal centres of ossification, which may result from bleeding. Frankel line: Dense zone of provisional calcification Trummerfeld zone: Lucent metaphyseal band underlying frankel line Pelken spur: Metaphyseal spurs which result in cupping of the metaphysis
