Vitamin D intoxication is uncommon in children and is more commonly suspected in the setting of ingestion of high doses of vitamin D. Its manifestations can be non specific and varied ranging from mild like constipation and vomiting to life threatening like arrhythmias and encephalopathy. Here we present a 14 month female who presented with loss of milestones, floppiness, and poor interaction with mother. She was detected to have hypercalcemia and was subsequently diagnosed with vitamin D intoxication. She was successfully treated with hydration, furosemide, prednisolone and frequent monitoring of electrolytes, electrocardiography and volume status. Subsequently as her serum calcium levels normalized with therapy, she became alert, conscious and started achieving developmental milestones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
