Title: Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism With Pseudo Seizure .
Abstract: Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) pertain to a diverse group of disorders concerning parathyroid hormone (PTH) resistance. PHP is an unusual sporadic or inherited genetic disorder subdivided into different distinct entities. In 1952, Albright, Forbes, and Henneman reported a case of pseudo-hypoparathyroidism in which all the usual anatomical stigmata of hypoparathyroidism were present, but serum calcium and phosphorous levels were normal and the patient exhibited no clinical evidence of hypoparathyroidism. They called this new syndrome “pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism”(pseudo PHP). Seizures are not known to occur in pseudo PHP while they have been described in PHP.We report a 17 years old female, who presented with involuntary jerky movements of all four limbs and on further evaluation was diagnosed to have the syndrome ‘Pseudo PHP’.
