“…Delirium and cognitive decline are manifestations of HP and PHP, being usually associated and maybe pathophysiologically related to the presence of intracranial calcification (Adorni et al 2005; Baptista et al 1997; El Otmani et al 2013; Kowdley et al 1999; Nicolai & Lazzarino 1994; Roca et al 1995). Hypocalcemia seems to be a key factor for calcifications as well as for common neurological symptoms like tetany, muscle cramping and seizures, which usually respond quickly to calcium replacement (Friedman et al 1987; Fujita 2004).…”

“…A review of the literature revealed that stable and severe cognitive deficits and dementia have been essentially associated to chronic HP and PHP and widespread intracranial calcifications (Baptista et al 1997; Cartier et al 2002; El Otmani et al 2013; Modrego et al 2005). Dementia appears late in the course of the disease in most cases, and it is characterized as a subcortical dementia, probably secondary to mineral deposits in subcortical structures, leading to disruption of frontostriatal circuits and dysfunction of inter‐hemispheric relations (Cartier et al 2002).…”

“…The roles of hypocalcemia and intracerebral calcifications in the occurrence of epilepsy in hypoparathyroidism are not entirely clear. El Otmani et al [ 16 ] analyzed retrospectively the neurological and clinical findings of 12 cases with secondary brain calcifications (9 of them were hypoparathyroidism and 3 of them were pseudohypoparathyroidism) during a follow-up period of 13 years. In this report, all patients had a tetany, 60% had epilepsy, 50% had behavioral changes, and response to calcium therapy was excellent for all these events [ 16 ].…”

In this report, all patients had a tetany, 60% had epilepsy, 50% had behavioral changes, and response to calcium therapy was excellent for all these events [ 16 ]. Although the present patient had a history of head trauma and continuing convulsive attacks until the last eight months despite antiepileptic treatment, the presence of hypocalcemic symptoms like tetany and agitation may support the idea that the epileptic attacks were related to primary hypoparathyroidism and brain calcifications.…”
