Abstract
Nutrisyonel rikets ülkemiz için önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olmaya devam etmektedir. D vitamini destek programı ile önemli mesafeler alınmış olmasına karşın rikets bebeklik ve adölesan çağdaki çocukları etkilemeye devam etmektedir. Ayrıca nutrisyonel riketsin yalnızca D vitamini ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülmekte, bu durum maalesef hekimlerin bile özellikle adölesan dönemde yeterli kalsiyum alımının önemini göz ardı etmesine neden olmaktadır.12 yaşında immobil kız olgu rastlantısal saptanan hipokalsemi nedeni ile değerlendirildi ve rikets tanısı konuldu. Bu olgu ile vitamin D eksikliği ve kalsiyum yetersizliğinin nutrisyonel rikets etiyolojisinde rol oynayabileceği ve özellikle adölesanlarda D vitamini ile birlikte yeterli kalsiyum alımının önemi vurgulanmak istendi.

Abstract
Nutritional rickets continues to be a major public health problem for our country. It still affects both infants and adolescents although significant progress has been made with the vitamin D supplementation program. Nutritional rickets is thought to be only associated with vitamin D so that even physicians neglect adequate calcium intake, especially during adolescence.A 12-year-old immobilized girl with incidentally detected hypocalcemia was evaluated and rickets was diagnosed. Our aim in presenting this case was to describe the role of calcium and vitamin D deficiency in the etiology of nutritional rickets and to emphasize the requirement of adequate vitamin D and calcium intake, especially in adolescents
