OBJECTIVE Clinical features associated with microdeletion of chromosome 22q11 (del(22)(q11)) are highly variable. Increased awareness of this condition is needed among specialists such as endocrinologists to reduce diagnostic delay and improve clinical care. The purpose of this study was to describe the phenotype of patients with del(22)(q11), focusing on parathyroid gland dysfunction. DESIGN...

INTRODUCTION Hypoparathyroidism in pregnancy is rare, but important, as it is associated with maternal morbidity and foetal loss. There are limited case reports and no established management guidelines. Optimal maintenance of calcium levels during pregnancy is required to minimise the risk of related complications. This study aims to identify causes and examine outcomes of hypoparathyroidism in...

The risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism following thyroid and parathyroid surgery is around 1% in the hands of experienced endocrine surgeons. Although this complication is rare, rendering a patient permanently aparathyroid has significant consequences on the health and quality of life of the patient. Immediate autotransplantation of parathyroid glands that are injured or unintentionally remov...

F ray, M ay 5, 2017 PURPOSE: Acquired hypoparathyroidism is most commonly caused by surgical removal or iatrogenic injury. Permanent hypoparathyroidism occurs in up to 5% of patients undergoing total thyroidectomy or neck dissection, which can result in profound hypocalcemia. If injury is noted intraoperatively the parathyroid gland can be minced and implanted subcutaneously to recover function...

introduction: hypoparathyroidism (hpt) is an irreversible but preventable disorder caused by an iron overload which can be considered a typical complication in patients with beta-thalassemia major. patients and method: parathyroid function was evaluated in 130 patients in qom, iran, who suffered from beta-thalassemia major. their serum ferritin levels were checked for monitoring of chelation th...

Hypocalcaemia due to hypoparathyroidism following thyroidectomy is a relatively common occurrence. Standard treatment is with oral calcium and vitamin D replacement therapy; lack of response to oral therapy is rare. Herein we describe a case of hypoparathyroidism following thyroidectomy unresponsive to oral therapy in a patient with a complex medical history. We consider the potential causes in...

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (HP) is an induced or inherited condition characterized by insufficient secretion of parathyroid hormone. The clinical manifestations of this condition are varied, and pain and stiffness affecting the back and hips resembling ankylosing spondylitis is an under-recognized symptom in these patients. Here, we report a case of delayed diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism re...
