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.
