RESUMO
Patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are at risk of poor bone health and fractures. We report a child with SMA type 2, presenting with acute pain and swelling of both lower limbs following physiotherapy, and found to have multiple fractures in both lower limbs. Literature on fractures in children with SMA is limited. Awareness of risk assessment and appropriate preventive measures among healthcare providers caring for children with SMA is essential.
