title: [Clinical and neuroradiologic aspects of pseudohypoparathyroidism. Case report].
abstract: The authors describe the case of a 18-year-old man with short stature, epilepsy, mental deficiency and basal ganglia and central nervous system calcifications. The clinical and laboratorial findings have suggested pseudohypoparathyroidism which is a rare pathology with a peripheral resistance to parathormone, neuromuscular hyperexcitability, short stature and various clinical findings. This paper reviews the clinical form and treatment of pseudohypoparathyroidism and the neuroradiologic aspects of calcifications.
