Basal ganglia calcification in idiopathic hypoparathyroidism
نویسنده
چکیده
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. Clinically, hypoparathyroidism manifests predominantly as neuromuscular dysfunction caused by hypocalcemia. Basal ganglia calcification in particular is associated with hypoparathyroidism. Two different presentations of basal ganglia calcification associated with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism illustrate common features and clinical findings of this condition. E.M.M. Wong, MD, M.
