Neonatal Seizure as a Manifestation of Unrecognized Maternal Hyperparathyroidism
Maternal hypercalcemia suppresses parathyroid activity in the fetus resulting in impaired parathyroid responsiveness to hypocalcemia after birth. Resultant hypocalcemia may be severe and prolonged and rarely may lead to convulsions. Here, we present a newborn infant admitted to the pediatric emergency department at age two weeks with recurrent tonic convulsions due to asymptomatic maternal hype...

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 کاملA rare cause of neonatal seizure: incontinentia pigmenti.

Central nervous system manifestations are seen in 30% of cases with seizures and mental retardation. Seizures occurring as the presenting sign of IP are rarely reported. We report a case of a female newborn with IP who had seizures on day ...
