Abstract:
A woman in her 40s with advanced bladder cancer was admitted to hospital with hypercalcaemia of malignancy. Initially, she presented with non-specific symptoms of malaise, fatigue and general deterioration. She was treated with intravenous fluids and zoledronic acid in order to bring her calcium levels down, but subsequently developed significant hypocalcaemia. This manifested as tetany in the hands in the form of bilateral carpopedal spasm. She also reported perioral paraesthesia. Bloods during her admission revealed deranged electrolytes, and her vitamin D level was on the lower scale of nor

Abstract:
ABSTRACT This paper presents a case on symptomatic hypocalcemia due to sodium phosphate use for bowel preparation following parathyroidectomy. Serum calcium and parathyroid hormone were in normal levels postoperatively. Two months following the operation, phosphosoda was administered for bowel preparation. Following bowel preparation severe carpopedal spasm developed. It can be speculated that sodium phosphate administration for bowel preparation may precipitate hypocalcemic tetany in the patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract:
Hypocalcemia, characterized by low levels of ionized calcium, is a potentially life-threatening electrolyte disturbance that can result in neuromuscular symptoms such as tetany, carpopedal spasms, and seizures. This case report presents a 7-year-old previously healthy girl who developed painful bilateral carpopedal spasms following multiple episodes of non-bilious vomiting. Vomiting causes metabolic alkalosis, which subsequently led to a significant drop in ionized calcium levels, inducing hypocalcemia. On presentation, laboratory tests revealed low ionized calcium, though total calcium and ot

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Hypoparathyroidism is a relatively common side effect of a thyroidectomy and leads to hypocalcemia. Carpopedal spasm and tetany are typical manifestations and usually occur within weeks after surgery. The first signs can be less typical and include movement disorders such as chorea, as well as symptoms of increased intracranial pressure or epileptic seizures. We describe two cases with generalised tonic‐clonic seizures as the first manifestation of postoperative hypoparathyroidism, appearing months and years after thyroidectomy. Iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism needs to be considered in

Abstract Background Hypocalcemia is a common endocrine manifestation of COVID 19 infection. We present a rare case of severe hypocalcemia in a patient with a history of Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) type 1A after COVID-19 infection. PHP is a genetic disorder that presents with hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism due to marked target-organ unresponsiveness to parathyroid hormone (PTH). PHP type 1A also has a characteristic somatic phenotype known as Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy (AHO), including short stature, brachydactyly, shortened metatarsals, and often

Abstract Background: Barakat syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the GATA3 gene, manifesting with a combination of hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, and renal dysplasia. Clinical Description: A 12-year-old girl presented with sudden onset carpopedal spasms associated with a history of hearing loss perceived for the last 3 months, along with a past history of intermittent seizures. Examination showed normal sensorium, with malnutrition, pallor, and positive Trousseau’s and Chvostek’s signs. Management and Outcome: Investigations revealed hypocalcemia,

Patient was being treated with capreomycin for two months for tuberculosis. On further investigation, hypocalcemia, hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis were noted. Vitamin D and serum PTH

Abstract:
Endocrine disorders can cause diverse changes in cognition and affect as well as changes in neuromuscular function that may simulate primary neurologic disease, and they generally require a specialized endocrine workup to make a diagnosis. For example, hypoparathyroidism, which may be congenital (e.g., DiGeorge syndrome or Kearns-Sayre syndrome) or disease-acquired (e.g., autoimmune hypoparathyroidism) can present as neuromuscular irritability or tetany due to hypocalcemia, the most distinctive features, which may manifest as carpopedal spasm or laryngospasm. Primary hyperparathyroidism is the
