Cystic multiglandular maternal hyperparathyroidism diagnosed by neonatal hypocalcemic seizures
A 7-day-old male infant born to a healthy 33-year-old female at 37 weeks of gestation was brought to the local emergency department (ED) with sudden-onset tonic-clonic seizures. Laboratory testing revealed extreme hypocalcemia (ionized calcium of 3.2 mg/dl) and undetectable parathyroid hormone (PTH <10 pg/ml). Concomitant evaluation of the mother revealed both elevated ionized calcium (5.9 mg/d...
متن کاملNeonatal idiopathic primary hypoparathyroidism: A rare cause of neonatal seizures
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...
متن کاملIs hypovitaminosis D a consequence rather than cause of disease?
Chalmers and colleagues have shown that vitamin D deficiency is common in bronchiectasis and correlates with markers of disease severity. The authors comment that although the study has identified a strong association, this does not demonstrate causality, but the results justify a randomised controlled trial of vitamin D therapy to determine if supplementation can improve outcomes. They mention...
متن کاملNeonatal Late-onset Hypocalcemia: Is There Any Relationship with Maternal Hypovitaminosis D?
PURPOSE Neonatal late-onset hypocalcemia is defined as hypocalcemia developed after postnatal 3 days and associated with hypoparathyroidism, high phosphate diets and vitamin D deficiency. We experienced the increment of neonatal late onset hypocalcemia over 1 year. We tried to evaluate the relationship between late onset hypocalcemia and maternal hypovitaminosis D. METHODS The medical records...
متن کاملD-bifunctional protein deficiency: a cause of neonatal onset seizures and hypotonia.
BACKGROUND Peroxisomal disorders are classified in two major groups: (1) peroxisome biogenesis disorders and (2) single peroxisomal enzyme/transporter deficiencies. D-bifunctional protein deficiency (OMIM #261515) is included in this last group of rare diseases and leads to an impaired peroxisomal beta-oxidation. D-bifunctional protein deficiencies are divided into four types based on the degre...
