Case Report

Transient Pseudohypoparathyroidism and Neonatal Seizure

Shabih Manzar1

1 Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Sultanate of Oman

The case of a neonate is presented who had late onset seizure associated with hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and raised parathyroid hormone. The infant did not have any stigmata of pseudohypoparathyroidism. The hypocalcemia was initially resistant to calcium therapy, but responded to vitamin D analog therapy. The diagnosis of ‘transient neonatal pseudohypoparathyroidism’ was entertained, as the infant remained stable and seizure-free with normal serum biochemistry during 8 months of follow-up.
