J Family Med Prim Care. 2014 Jul;3(3):266-8. doi: 10.4103/2249-4863.141629.

Abstract

Hypoparathyroidism commonly presents with paresthesias, fatigue, anxiety, muscle cramps and infrequently with seizures due to hypocalcaemia. Here, we present a case of 27-year-old adult female presenting with new onset convulsions who was subsequently diagnosed to have primary (congenital) hypoparathyroidism.

Keywords: Adult onset seizures; family practice; primary hypoparathyroidism.
