ABSTRACT
@#We describe a 29-year-old Para 1 post-Emergency Lower Segment Caesarean Section (EMLSCS) for fetal distress and Preterm Rupture of the Membrane (PROM) referred by the Obstetric team for persistent bradycardia. She had the typical features of Albright’s Hereditary Osteodystrophy (AHO). The laboratory investigation revealed hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia with a high Parathyroid hormone (PTH) level and low free Thyroxine 4 (fT4) with high Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). The patient was diagnosed with Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) Type 1A associated with TSH resistance based on the somatic features of AHO present as well as biochemical and radiological abnormalities.
