Introduction: Pseudohypoparathyroidism is characterised by hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphataemia, increased serum parathyroid hormone values and insensitivity to the biological activity of parathyroid hormone. Pseudohypoparathyroidism is often associated with a characteristic phenotype known as Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy. This case was reported in order to remind pseudohypoparathyroidism in patients with hypocalcemic seizures.
Case report: We describe a 50-year-old man who presented with seizure due to hypocalcemia. He has typical features of Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy, which include a round face, short neck and stature and brachydactyly. Diffuse calsifications were seen on the bilateral cerebellum, putamen and dentate nucleus in computarized tomography. The patient is treated successfully by calcium carbonate and calcitriol supplementation.
Conclusion: Pseudohypoparathyroidism can present with unusual manifestations in the adulthood such as hypocalcaemia related seizures.
