Hyperostosis around the bilateral acetabulum associated with hypoparathyroidism

Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis secondary to postsurgical hypoparathyroidism.

To cite: Tsai D-R, Huang SH, Lin S-H. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013200591 DESCRIPTION Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis (BSPDC) is characterised by calcifications of bilateral basal ganglia and dentate nuclei with or without thalamus, subcortical white matter and cerebellum involvement. A computed tomography (CT) is useful in diagnosi...

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism associated with stable untreated myelofibrosis.

Computed tomography anomalies associated with isolated hypoparathyroidism

Hypocalcemia due to chronic hypoparathyroidism presents with nonspecific symptoms. However, if untreated, hypocalcemia may affect neurological, cognitive, muscular, and cardiac function. Computed tomography (CT) findings may confirm a diagnosis of chronic hypoparathyroidism. Although autoimmune acquired hypoparathyroidism is a rare disease, early diagnosis and treatment are critical for avoidin...

Chronic idiopathic hypoparathyroidism associated with moniliasis.

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is probably less rare than is commonly thought. Steinberg and Waldron (1952) in a comprehensive review of the literature collected 51 cases and added one of their own, but they did not include several reported cases whose serum inorganic phosphorus did not exceed 5 0 mg. %. Few reports have come from this country. Humphreys (1939), Himsworth and Maizels (1940), Jor...

Enamel hypoplasia associated with congenital hypoparathyroidism.

Enamel hypoplasia is a defect in the enamel due to disturbance of ameloblastic function during amelogenesis. The etiology of such a disturbance may be either genetic or environmental in nature. This case report of undetected congenital idiopathic hypoparathyroidism emphasizes the importance of investigating the underlying cause of these enamel defects.
