A neonate experienced seizures due to low calcium and high phosphate, resistant to standard treatment. Vitamin D analog therapy proved effective, suggesting neonatal pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Endocrinology
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Metabolic Disorders

Background:

  • Early-onset seizures in neonates can indicate underlying metabolic disturbances.
  • Hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia are critical biochemical abnormalities requiring prompt diagnosis.
  • Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a group of disorders characterized by resistance to parathyroid hormone.

Observation:

  • A neonate presented with early-onset seizures, hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated parathyroid hormone levels.
  • The infant lacked typical physical features associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism.
  • Initial calcium therapy was ineffective in correcting the hypocalcemia.

Findings:

  • The neonate's hypocalcemia demonstrated resistance to conventional calcium treatment.

  • Response to vitamin D analog therapy was observed, suggesting a potential diagnosis of neonatal pseudohypoparathyroidism.
  • The infant remained clinically stable and seizure-free with normalized serum biochemistry during a 3-month follow-up period.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering neonatal pseudohypoparathyroidism in neonates with unexplained hypocalcemia and seizures.
    • Vitamin D analog therapy may be a crucial treatment modality for this condition.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for preventing neurological complications in affected neonates.
