ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the features of hypocalcemic myopathy secondary to hypoparathyroidism (HP). Methods The symp-toms and signs, laboratory findings and treatments of 13 patients with hypocalcemic myopathy secondary to HP were analyzed retrospective-ly. Results 13 cases of HP were classified into idiopathic HP (8 cases), secondary HP (3 cases) and pseudo-HP (2 cases). The symptoms of hypocalcemic myopathy secondary to HP included tetany, episodic carpopedal spasm, muscle cramps and myalgias in the forearms and calves. It presented blepharospasm, trunk spasm and laryngospasm. Some patients demonstrated positive Trousseau's and Chvostek's sign. Serum level of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased. The symptoms of myopathy released and the levels of CK and LDH decreased to normal level after enough calcium carbonate and calcitriol administration. Conclusion All types of HP (idiopathic, secondary and pseudo HP) can cause hypocalcemia and myopathy. Hypocalcemic myopathy secondary to HP would well recover by enough calcium carbonate and calcitriol treatment.
