Immobilization hypercalcemia usually causes mild neurologic symptoms. Seizures are a rare complication, appearing weeks after the appearance of other symptoms of hypercalcemia. We report here the case of a 10-year-old boy who developed generalized seizures early in the course of the syndrome. In
Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type 1 (FHH1) is caused by loss-of-function mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), and considered to be a benign condition associated with mild-to-moderate hypercalcemia. However, the children of parents with FHH1 can develop a variety of OBJECTIVE
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction has been hypothesized to be the etiology of seizures due to hypercalcemia, but angiographic studies documenting vasoconstriction have not previously been available.
METHODS
We present a 43-year-old woman who had frequent seizures that later evolved to
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by defective bone mineralization caused by a deficiency in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity due to mutations in the tissue-nonspecific ALP (TNALP) gene. The clinical expression of the disease is variable. Six forms of HPP are
Hypercalcemia caused by primary hyperparathyroidism was believed to be responsible for seizures in a dog. A diagnostic evaluation showed no primary causes of seizures. After surgical excision of the adenomatous parathyroid gland, phenobarbital treatment was discontinued, without recurrence of
Subcutaneous fat necrosis in a newborn is a rare, benign and self-limiting panniculitis. Hypercalcemia may develop and has been implicated as the cause of serious complications including seizures, nephrocalcinosis, and death. We report a case of subcutaneous fat necrosis in a newborn associated with
Milk-alkali syndrome is mainly caused by the ingestion of large amounts of calcium and absorbable alkali. This syndrome can lead to metastatic calcification, renal failure and metabolic alkalosis secondary to hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia is rarely a cause of seizure activity. Very few case reports
Early parenteral nutrition (PN) provides essential macro- and micronutrients for extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants <1000 g. Frequent cases of hypercalcemia [whole blood ionized calcium (iCa) > 1.45 mmol/L] in the first week of life while receiving PN solutions at our large quaternary center
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare metabolic disease with the hallmark finding of deficient serum tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) activity. TNSALP is primarily known for its role in mineralization; hence, HPP is characterized by defective mineralization of bone and/or teeth. TNSALP is
Although hypercalcemia may cause drowsiness, lethargy, weakness, confusion and coma it rarely causes seizures or cerebral infarction. The patient presented had a clinical evolution from hallucinosis to a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, and subsequent cortical blindness with occipital cerebral
Introduction: A part of hypercalcemia is a paraneoplastic syndrome. Its association with lymph node metastasis of bladder cancer has been infrequently reported in the literature.
Case presentation:
The authors describe a 9-year-old girl with precursor-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who presented with dehydration and severe hypercalcemia. She had received oral vitamin D and calcium supplementation for 4 days, the last dose 48 hours prior to admission, and required pediatric intensive care
BACKGROUND
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological entity characterized by seizures, headache, and reversible subcortical vasogenic edema. It is associated with many etiologies, most often hypertension, chronic renal failure, and chemotherapy. Hypercalcemia is rarely
