“…The late onset, idiopathic form of HP is often missed because patients usually adapt to gradually established chronic hypocalcaemia. Myopathy accompanied by raised muscle enzymes has been described in nine patients with longstanding hypocalcaemia due to hypoparathyroidism [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] . The suggested pathogenetic mechanisms of myopathy and increased muscle enzymes in some patients with hypoparathyroidism do not satisfactorily interpret this association.…”

“…This is probably due to the fact that this myopathy is rarely diagnosed, even in patients with chronic hypocalcemia, as the clinical manifestations of these patients, except for those developing tetany, are subjective and non-specific. In some patients, for example, the only objective sign of disease might be myoglobinuria 18 . Two recommendations should be made, therefore, to allow an early diagnosis of this disease and a better understanding of its pathophysiology.…”

-Myopathy due to idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is very unusual. We report on a 30 years-old man referred with complaints of sporadic muscle pain and mild global weakness for 10 years. His physical examination showed normal strength in distal muscle and slightly weakness in the pelvic and scapular girdles with no atrophy. Deep muscle reflexes were slightly hypoactive. Trousseau's and Chvostek's signs were absent. He had bilateral cataract and complex partial seizures. His laboratory tests showed decreased ionised and total calcium and parathyroid hormone and increased muscle enzymes. EMG and muscle biopsy was compatible with metabolic myopathy. After treatment with calcium and vitamin D supplementation he showed clinical, neurophisiological and laboratorial improvement. In conclusion: patients with muscle symptoms, even when non-specific and with normal neurological examination, should have serum calcium checked, as myopathy due to idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, even being rare, is treatable and easy to diagnose.KEY WORDS: myopathy, hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism. Miopatia hipocalcêmica secundária a hipoparatireiodismo idiopático sem tetamia: relato de casoRESUMO -Miopatia secundária a hipoparatireidismo idiopático é enfermidade raramente descrita. Relatamos o caso de homem de 30 anos que procurou atendimento médico com queixas de dores musculares e discreta fraqueza há cerca de 10 anos. Ao exame físico apresentava leve diminuição de força na musculatura pélvica e escapular, sem atrofia, ou fraqueza distal. Os reflexos miotáticos fásicos eram hipoativos e não havia sinais de Trousseau ou Chevostek. Havia história de catarata bilateral e crises parciais complexas. Os exames laboratoriais demonstraram hipocalcemia, com diminuição do paratormônio, hiperfosfatemia e enzimas musculares elevadas. A EMG e a biópsia de músculo foram compatíveis com miopatia metabóli-ca. Após reposição de cálcio e vitamina D houve melhora clínica e neurofisiológica. Em conclusão: em pacientes com sintomas musculares, mesmo não específicos para miopatia ou com exame neurológico normal, devese dosar cálcio sérico, já que miopatia associada a hipoparatireoidismo é uma doença facilmente diagnosticada e tratável. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: miopatia, hipocalcemia, hipoparatireoidismo.Myopathy due to idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (IHP) is an extremely rare condition, with little more than 10 cases described in the literature, and its pathophysiology is not well established [1][2][3][4] . IHP is an infrequent disease of unknown aetiology, caused by insufficient secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Its estimated prevalence in Japan is 7.2 cases per million individuals 5 . The reduced secretion of this hormone leads to hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, due to the inhibition in calcium reabsorption in distal tubules and bone matrix, and also to the deficiency in the synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. The clinical manifestations of IHP are multiple and affect mainly tissues of ectodermic origin. Among the most common findings in these patient...

“…O aumento de enzimas musculares é um achado raro no hipoparatireoidismo (3)(4)(5) . Em alguns relatos os níveis de creatino quinase (CK) variam inversamente com as concentrações séricas de cálcio (6)(7)(8) . O aumento de CK foi atribuído à presença de tetania, porém, pode também ocorrer na sua ausência (2,7) .…”

RESUMOOs autores relatam o caso de um jovem de 18 anos de idade com fraqueza muscular generalizada, cãibras e crises convulsivas, tratado com corticosteróides por oito anos em decorrência de um diagnóstico de polimiosite, sem melhora clínica. Ao exame físico apresentava força muscular normal, ausência de atrofias musculares, diminuição de reflexos tendíneos profundos e presença INTRODUÇÃOA presença de fraqueza muscular com aumento de enzimas musculares sugere o diagnóstico de miopatia (1,2) . A investigação de um paciente que apresenta fraqueza muscular inclui hormônios tireoidianos, enzimas musculares e hepá-ticas, cálcio sérico e urinário. Muitas vezes a história nos fornece indícios quanto ao diagnóstico mais provável. Fraqueza muscular com atrofia muscular sugere o diagnóstico ABSTRACT
