Abstract
The authors describe a 6 year old girl who initially presented with limping due to intraarticular ossification of left knee joint but later developed carpopedal spasms. She had Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy phenotype with hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia with elevated parathyroid hormone. She was diagnosed to have pseudohypoparathyroidism 1a (PHP1a) with heterotopic intraarticular ossification. This case emphasizes the need for evaluation of PHP in patients with intraarticular ossification to facilitate early diagnosis of PHP.
