[Neuropsychology of a psycho-organic syndrome caused by idiopathic hypoparathyroidism. Apropos of a case].
A case of organic psychosis secondary to an idiopathic hypoparathyroidism with intracranial calcifications affecting the basal ganglia and the cortico-medullary junction is described. The results of the skull X-ray, cerebral TACO and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging analyses are presented, as well as a battery of neuropsychological tests. In spite of the extensive calcifications found, deficits on the neuropsychological tests were minimal or non-existent; possible explanations of this discrepancy are discussed.
