Abstract
Introduction:
We describe three boys who were referred for neurological work-up of a tottering gait and in whom we diagnosed bone diseases, namely, Camurati-Engelmann disease, cartilaginous exostoses and a stress fracture as the underlying causes for the gait-disturbances.
Conclusion:
"Non-neurologic disorders" must be considered even if pain is not a leading symptom in gait disturbances.
