Neonatal idiopathic primary hypoparathyroidism: A rare cause of neonatal seizures
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 PTH has no association with maternal, syndromic or endocrine defects is a very rare entity. We are reporting a case of a newborn who presented with seizures on the 5th day of life and later on investigations revealed hypocalcaemia due to isolated congenital hypoparathyroidism.

Late neonatal hypocalcemic tetany as a manifestation of unrecognized maternal primary hyperparathyroidism.
Maternal primary hyperparathyroidism causing hypercalcemia during pregnancy can suppress fetal and neonatal parathyroid hormone secretion. We report a newborn with transient hypoparathyroidism presented by hypocalcemic seizure and tetany on the 21st postnatal day in whom the final diagnosis was asymptomatic maternal primary hyperparathyroidism. Neonatal hypocalcemia usually occurs early in life...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Neonatal Hypophosphatasia: A Case Report
Hypophosphatasia is a rare hereditary disorder of bone metabolism.In this article, we presented the case of a male infant with a soft skull and short, deformed limbs at birth, followed by seizures and respiratory distress during admission in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Prenatal ultrasound showed limb hypoplasia, skull hypomineralization, and polyhydramnios. Seizures occurred on day...
متن کاملCryptogenic localization-related epilepsy of neonatal onset
We report three patients with localization-related epilepsy of neonatal onset. They exhibited favourable psychomotor development and had no cerebral lesions on neuroimaging studies despite the presence of intractable partial seizures of neonatal onset. Although rare, some cases of epilepsy of neonatal onset may be cryptogenic, i.e. they belong to neither the symptomatic nor the idiopathic group.

Background and purpose: Seizure is a common condition in neonatal period. In the absence of appropriate diagnosis and treatment, it can be associated with increased mortality and permanent neurological complications. This study was done to evaluate the prevalence, etiologies and risk factors for clinical neonatal seizure. Materials and methods: In a descriptive cross-sectional study, 174 neona...
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...
