Pseudohypoparathyroidism: a rare cause of bilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) type 1b is a rare childhood disorder characterized by renal resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH) resulting in biochemical hypoparathyroidism but with skeletal sensitivity to PTH. We describe a patient with PHP type 1b who we believe is one of the youngest reported patients with bilateral slipped capital femoral epiphyses (SCFE).
