چکیده
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by variable insensitivity to parathyroid hormone. We describe two cases of 22 year male and 24 year female who have typical clinical features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO). Laboratory investigation revealed evidence of pseudohypoparathyroidism and skeletal survey showed shortening of the metacarpals and metatarsals.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder of calcium metabolism that involves target organ resistance to the action of the parathyroid hormone. As a result, calcium levels may become dangerously low, sometimes leading to seizures and other symptoms. We present a case of a 23-year-old Somalian female on antiepileptic therapy presenting with intractable epilepsy. She was subsequently found to h...
متن کاملIntracranial Cortical Calcifications in a Focal Epilepsy Patient with Pseudohypoparathyroidism
Patients with chronic parathyroid dysfunction often have intracranial calcification in deep gray matter (GM) and subcortical white matter (WM) of their brain. Some of them are also epilepsy patients. Although cortical etiologies are main cause of epileptic seizure, cortical calcification has not been reported in these patients. We report a newly diagnosed focal epilepsy patient whose brain magn...

A case of pseudohypoparathyroidism in a middle-aged female presenting with severe Parkinsonism is reported. Correction of serum calcium led to marked clinical improvement suggesting that symptoms and signs were exacerbated by hypocalcaemia and tetanic spasm. Calcification of the basal ganglia was not detected on skull X-ray but was revealed by computerized axial tomography.

Klinefelter's syndrome is rarely associated with hypocalcemia, especially pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) type Ib. We describe a case of Klinefelter's syndrome associated with seizure, PHP type Ib and multiple endocrine dysfunctions. A 19-year-old Taiwanese male was admitted due to seizures with loss of consciousness. He had been diagnosed with Klinefelter's syndrome with seizure disorder and hy...
متن کاملA case of pseudohypoparathyroidism presenting as epilepsy with increased parathyroid hormone-like activity in urine.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism in pseudohypoparathyroidism was suggested by Kolb (1962) based mainly on bone X-ray findings characteristic to parathyroid hyperfunction such as subperiosteal resorption and osteitis fibrosa. We have recently experienced a case of typical pseudohypoparathyroidism in which the parathyroid hormone-like calcium-mobilizing activity in urine was increased, although bone...
