    Summary

    This report details four pediatric cases of hypoparathyroidism, a rare endocrine disorder, in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Two children were diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism associated with DiGeorge Syndrome, highlighting the condition's varied presentations.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Endocrinology
    • Genetics
    • Rare Diseases

    Background:

    • Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder characterized by insufficient parathyroid hormone production.
    • DiGeorge Syndrome is a genetic disorder associated with multiple congenital anomalies, including hypoparathyroidism.

    Observation:

    • This study reports on four children diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism.
    • The cases represent the first documented instances of this condition in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.
    • Two of the four children presented with hypoparathyroidism as a component of DiGeorge Syndrome.

    Findings:

    • The clinical presentation, treatment strategies, and disease progression were documented for all four pediatric patients.
    • The association of hypoparathyroidism with DiGeorge Syndrome was observed in 50% of the reported cases.

    Implications:

    • This report expands the geographical understanding of hypoparathyroidism prevalence.
    • It underscores the importance of recognizing hypoparathyroidism in children, particularly those with genetic syndromes like DiGeorge Syndrome.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the specific challenges and management of hypoparathyroidism in this region.
