Abstract

Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a disorder characterized by clinical and laboratorial findings of hypoparathyroidism with high plasma parathyroid hormone levels due to resistance by target tissues. Neurologic complications of PHP are not uncommon but recurrent attacks of seizure during the postpartal period have yet to be reported. We report a case of subclinical pseudohypoparathyroidism with recurrent seizures in the postpartal period. KeyWords:Pseudohypoparathyroidism, Seizure, Postpartum
