Abstract

Vitamin D insufficiency is common in older people and is associated with several disorders related to aging such as osteoporosis, which leads to a significantly increased risk of bone fractures. This deficiency is more common in Mediterranean countries than in Northern Europeancountries. Hypocalcemic seizures resulting from vitamin D deficiency are rare in adults, and fractures caused by seizures without evidence of direct trauma have not yet been reported. We present an unusual case of secondary right radius fracture caused by hypocalcemic seizures in a 63year-old Turkish woman with primary vitamin D deficiency. After vitamin D supplementation,increased serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D and calcium levels and decreased parathormone levelswere found. The seizures had not recurred. It is important to check for calcium levels in olderpatients who present with non-febrile seizures. When hypocalcemia was found serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels should be measured to find the underlying cause

Özet

Vitamin D eksikliği yaşlı insanlara sık rastlanmaktadır ve kemik kırık riskinin belirgin artışına yolaçan osteoporoz gibi ciddi rahatsızlıklarla ilişkilidir. Bu eksiklik Akdeniz ülkelerinde Kuzey Avrupa ülkelerinden daha yaygındır. Vitamin D eksikliğine bağlı hipokalsemik nöbet erişkinlerde nadirdir ve direkt travma olmadan nöbete bağlı kırık henüz rapor edilmemiştir. Primer vitamin D eksikliğine bağlı hipokalsemik nöbetin neden olduğu sağ Radius kırığı olan 63 yaşında Türk kadın olgu sunmaktayız. Vitamin D replasmanı sonrası, serum 25-hidroksi vitamin D düzeyi ve kalsiyumseviyesinde artış ve parathormon seviyesinde ise azalma görülmüştür. Nöbet tekrarlamamıştır.Nonfebril nöbet ile gelen yaşlı hastalarda kalsiyum seviyesinin kontrolü önemlidir. Hipokalsemi tespit edildiğinde altta yatan nedeni bulmak için serum 25-hidroksi vitamin D düzeyi de bakılmalıdır
