Abstract
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare disorder characterized by convulsions, tetany, and sensory abnormalities caused by hypocalcemia due to parathyroid hormone (PTH) resistance. Only few patients present with involuntary movements. We report the case of a 7-yr-old girl with PHP and involuntary movements triggered by running. Initially, she was suspected of having paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia and was treated with carbamazepine (CBZ). Involuntary movements were reduced. However, 2 months post-treatment, she experienced convulsions during a fever. Blood tests and brain computed tomography revealed hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, elevated intact PTH, and calcifications in the frontal cortex and basal ganglia. The patient showed no features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy. The involuntary movements disappeared after the discontinuation of CBZ and initiation of calcium and active vitamin D preparations. Methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification for the GNAS region and microsatellite analysis of chromosome 20 led to the diagnosis of PHP1B caused by epimutation. In 15 reported cases, with or without intracranial calcification, PHP-associated involuntary movements disappeared or became less severe with treatment for hypocalcemia; in eight of 11 cases, they were triggered by exercise or movement. PHP-associated hypocalcemia can trigger exercise-induced involuntary movements owing to lowered serum ionized calcium levels. In such patients, early blood tests are vital for the differential diagnosis of PHP.
