Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic disorder of calcium and phosphate metabolism due to ALPL gene mutations, which leads to abnormal mineralization of the bones and teeth. Hypophosphatasia is characterized by low serum alkaline phosphatase activity and a number of clinical signs, including failure to thrive, bone pain and dental issues. The diagnosis is suspected based on clinical, laboratory and imaging findings and confirmed by genetic testing. Diagnosis in children is often delayed due to a lack of disease awareness, despite specific imaging findings that are a cornerstone of the diagnosis. The recent approval of enzyme replacement therapy (bone-targeted recombinant tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase) has given imaging an important role in monitoring treatment efficacy. The aim of this pictorial essay is to review the imaging features of hypophosphatasia at diagnosis and during follow-up, including whole-body magnetic resonance imaging patterns.
