title: Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b with hypothyroidism.
abstract: Pseudohypoparathyroidism due to deficient end organ response to parathyroid hormone (PTH) is characterized by hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and increased serum PTH. We report a case of an 8-year-old girl with pseudohypoparathyroidism without features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy. The case is of interest as the child on serial follow-up over a period of 2 years developed hypothyroidism. This is a rare feature seen in pseudohypoparathyroidism type1b.
