Abstract

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is a rarely seen endocrinopathy characterized by insufficient parathyroid hormone secrection. It is manifested by hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and lower parathyroid hormone level. Widespread pain, postural dysfunction, limited range of motion of the vertebrae occur in cases of delayed diagnosis. Spondyloarthropathy-like radiographic changes occur due to periarticular, paraspinal, vertebral calcifications. In this case report we aimed to discuss a case of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism has asymptomatic hypocalcemia and spondyloarthropathy-like clinical findings.

Özet

İdiyopatik hipoparatiroidi paratiroid hormonun yetersiz salgılanmasına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan nadir bir endokrinopatidir. Hipokalsemi, hiperfosfatemi, düşük parathormon seviyeleri ile kendini gösterir. Uzun süre tanı alamayan vakalarda kas-iskelet sistemi ile ilgili olarak yaygın ağrı, postür bozukluğu, vertebra hareketlerinde kısıtlılık ortaya çıkar. Periartiküler, paraspinal, vertebral kalsifikasyonlar nedeniyle spondilartropati benzeri radyolojik değişiklikler meydana gelir. Bu olgu sunumunda, asemptomatik hipokalsemi ve spondilartropati benzeri klinik bulguları olan bir idiyopatik hipoparatiroidi olgusunun tartışılması amaçlandı.
