An X ray demonstrating the characteristic finding of lead poisoning in humans—dense metaphyseal lines. Because of their rich blood supply and vascular stasis, metaphyses of long bones are prone to hematogenous spread of osteomyelitis in children. [4]
Alfred Blaschko, a private practice dermatologist from Berlin, first described and drew the patterns of the lines of Blaschko in 1901.
