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...

 abstract the present study aimed to determine the prevalence of hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism and the frequency of regular chelation therapy in patients with thalassemia major in iran. searching process was performed by two independent  researchers using valid keywords in the national and international database, including: magiran, iranmedex, sid, medlib, scopus, pubmed, science direct, ...

Etiology of neonatal seizures (NNS) is diverse and hypocalcemia is one of the treatable causes. Neonatal hypocalcemia (NHC) due to congenital hypoparathyroidism, either permanent or transient, is extremely rare. Its biochemical abnormalities include hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and low levels of intact parathyroid hormone (PTH). Isolated congenital hypoparathyroidism in which deficiency of P...

Postsurgical hypoparathyroidism is the most common cause of chronic hypocalcemia. This condition may occur after removal of all parathyroid glands or after interruption of the blood supply to the parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy and radical neck dissection. The severity of the clinical presentation of hypocalcemia may vary from an asymptomatic laboratory finding to a severe life-threaten...

Hypoparathyroidism is a relatively common side effect of a thyroidectomy and leads to hypocalcemia. Carpopedal spasm and tetany are typical manifestations and usually occur within weeks after surgery. The first signs can be less typical and include movement disorders such as chorea, as well as symptoms of increased intracranial pressure or epileptic seizures. We describe two cases with generali...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is characterized by an inability of the body to respond appropriately to parathyroid hormone (PTH), the principal hormone that regulates calcium and phosphorous levels in the body. PTH is made by the parathyroid glands in the neck. There are usually four parathyroid glands, but we probably only need one or two of the glands. PTH is missing, or too low, in patients with ...

generalized pustular psoriasis with hypoparathyroidism has been reported previously often as a post thyroidectomy syndrome with hypoalbuminemia and hypocalcemia. but reports on association of pustular psoriasis with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism are very rare, and almost all of them occurred in patients with known psoriasis vulgaris. we report one of the youngest cases of this association in a ...

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism presenting as convulsions along with choreoathetosis simultaneously is a distinctly rare scenario. We present a case of Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism who presented with status epilepticus along with extrapyramidal dysfunction in the form of choreoathetosis. Clinical diagnosis was confirmed by the demonstration of basal ganglia calcification in Non Contrast Computed...

A 72 year old man developed idiopathic hypoparathyroidism. The condition spontaneously resolved which, to our knowledge, has not been previously described. Causes of fluctuating hypocalcaemia are outlined and their possible relevance to our patient discussed.
