Summary
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare hereditary
disorder having the prevalence of 3.4 per million. It is
characterized by symptoms and signs of
hypoparathyroidism, typically in association with distinctive
skeletal and developmental defects. The features of
hypoparathyroidism are due to tissue resistance to the effect
of parathyroid hormone (PTH). We will describe a 32-yearold
woman who had recurrent convulsion for 16 years,
infertility, cataract, psychosis, candidiasis and typical
features of Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO),
which include a round face, short neck, short stature and
brachydactyly. Laboratory investigations showed
hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia with high PTH level.
