Abstract
Hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia were found in a 42-year-old woman with tetanic spasms, which started after a period of starvation in her sixteenth year. Oral magnesium therapy corrected the low serum calcium level. Hypomagnesemia appears to be a consequence of reduced gut absorption. Kinetic studies and hormone measurements do not support theories relating the hypocalcemia observed during magnesium depletion as being solely due to impaired synthesis, impaired secretion of or reversible resistance to parathormone or excess calcitonin secretion.
