Reporting an adolescent patient with osteomalacia presented initially with complete inability to walk and clinicalfeatures consistent with proximal myopathy which is one of the uncommon presentation for osteomalasia and vitamin D deficiency. Afterexcluding other causes leading to myopathy by clinical,laboratory ,graphical ,and imaging methods and confirming the diagnosis of osteomalacia by lab. And radiological methods . Remarkable improvement of the myopathy and other signs and symptoms of vitamin D deficiency after starting the treatment with vitamin D and calciumsuppliment was noted. This report illustrates the importance of consideringosteomalaciaas a possible and treatable cause of proximal myopathy in adolescents and young adults
