Basal ganglia calcification in idiopathic hypoparathyroidism
ABSTRACT: Hypoparathyroidism refers to a group of disorders in which extracellular calcium levels cannot be maintained within the normal range due to relative or absolute deficiency of parathyroid hormone.

A unique case is reported in which there was rapid development ofprogressive congestive cardiac failure that required cardiac transplantation.

متن کاملHypoparathyroidism as the First Mani-Festation of Kearns-Sayre Syndrome: A Case Report
Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a mitochondrial myopathy, which was first described by Tomas Kearn in 1958. Diagnostic symptoms of this condition include retinitis pigmentosa, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, and one or more of the following factors: cardiac conduction system diseases, cerebellar ataxia, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with protein content above 100 mg/dL. The nature of thi...
متن کاملMR of Kearns-Sayre Syndrome
A 6-year-old boy was first evaluated because of short stature and hypocalcemia. His mother's pregnancy and delivery had been normal. Growth failure became progressively obvious; it was quantified at -3.5 standard deviations when the patient was 6 months old. Within 2 years, his developmental milestones declined, necessitating special education. When he was 5 years old, carpopedal spasm began; t...
