Abstract

A case of long-standing Idiopathic hypoparathyroldism that remained asymptomatic during pregnancy is described in a 25-year-old primipara. Clinical signs including carpopedal spasm, convulsions, and acute psychosis developed after the patient gave birth to a healthy infant. In contrast to previous reported cases, no signs of osteltis fibrosa cystica were found in the infant. This is believed to be the first such case described.
