title: The spectrum of hypoparathyroidism. Two case reports.
abstract: Two cases of hypoparathyroidism are described which illustrate part of the spectrum of hormonoplethoric hypoparathyroidism. The first is a case of pseudohypoparathyroidism without the usual associated physical stigmata, and the second a case of hypohyperparathyroidism. The diagnostic importance of hypocalcaemia is emphasized, particularly in the presence of unexplained convulsions. Related hypoparathyroid conditions are discussed.
