Skeletal changes are a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease and traditionally labelled as renal osteodystrophy. Uremic leontiasis ossea is a rare and severe form of renal osteodystrophy with characteristic overgrowth of the craniofacial bones. Imaging, in particular computed tomography, is valuable for the diagnosis and management of such rare condition. Uremic leontiasis ossea has distinctive imaging features with significant overgrowth of the jaw and characteristic internal serpiginous tunneling. The recognition of its radiological appearance and abrupt management are essential to avoid its devastating esthetic and functional impairments.
骨骼变化是慢性肾病患者的常见并发症，传统上被称为肾性骨营养不良。尿毒症性骨肥大是肾性骨营养不良的一种罕见且严重的形式，其特征为颅面骨过度生长。影像学检查，尤其是计算机断层扫描，对于诊断和管理这种罕见病症很有价值。尿毒症性骨肥大具有独特的影像学特征，表现为颌骨显著过度生长以及特征性的内部匐行性隧道样改变。认识其放射学表现并及时处理对于避免其造成严重的美学和功能损害至关重要。
