title: Computed tomography anomalies associated with isolated hypoparathyroidism.
abstract: Hypocalcemia due to chronic hypoparathyroidism presents with nonspecific symptoms. However, if untreated, hypocalcemia may affect neurological, cognitive, muscular, and cardiac function. Computed tomography (CT) findings may confirm a diagnosis of chronic hypoparathyroidism. Although autoimmune acquired hypoparathyroidism is a rare disease, early diagnosis and treatment are critical for avoiding severe complications.
