Computed tomography anomalies associated with isolated hypoparathyroidism
نویسنده
چکیده
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 avoiding severe complications.

An Adult Case of Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome Associated with a High-positioned Right Aortic Arch
Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2 DS) has a very wide phenotypic spectrum that includes dysmorphic features, cardiac anomalies, and hypocalcemia arising from hypoparathyroidism. We herein describe an adult case of 22q11.2 DS with associated hypoparathyroidism and anomalies of the aortic arch. Because the patient had been diagnosed with primary hypoparathyroidism at another hospital,...
متن کاملDiffuse Hepatic Calcifications in a Transfusion-Dependent Patient with Beta-Thalassemia: A Case Report
Hepatic calcification is usually associated with infectious, vascular, or neoplastic processes in the liver. We report the first case of beta-thalassemia major with isolated diffuse hepatic calcification in a 23 year old woman, who had been transfusion-dependent since the age of 6 months. She was referred to our center with a chief complaint of abdominal pain. Computed tomography scan of the ab...

INTRODUCTION: Hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT), a disorder of PTH deficiency, is associated with increased areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and microstructural abnormalities in association with markedly reduced bone turnover [1, 2]. In contrast, continuous excess secretion of PTH, as seen in primary hyperparathyroidism, causes preferential reduction of aBMD at the distal 1/3 radius (a cortical site...
متن کاملIdiopathic Hypoparathyroidism Presenting as Status Epilepticus and Choreoathetosis
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...
