This case report details pseudohypoparathyroidism with spinal stenosis in a 41-year-old man. Surgical decompression led to gradual symptom improvement, highlighting a rare association.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by resistance to parathyroid hormone.
  • Spinal disorders, particularly cervical spinal stenosis, are infrequently associated with PHP.
  • This report focuses on a unique case linking PHP type I with severe cervical spinal stenosis.

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old male presented with progressive spastic tetraplegia.
  • Cervical cord compression resulted from multiple disc herniations at C3-C4, C4-5, and C5-C6 levels within a developmentally narrow spinal canal.
  • Diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism type I was confirmed via Albright's osteodystrophy features, laboratory results, and an Ellsworth-Howard test.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent expansive laminoplasty from C3 to C6 for spinal decompression.

  • Post-surgery, the patient experienced gradual improvement in neurological symptoms over a 1-year and 6-month follow-up period.
  • This case underscores the successful surgical management of spinal stenosis in a patient with pseudohypoparathyroidism.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering spinal pathologies in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention for spinal stenosis can significantly improve outcomes in affected individuals.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms connecting PHP and spinal disorders.
