Abstract

Primary hypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder that presents with various psychiatric and neurological symptoms. A 50-year-old female patient visited hospital due to recurrent seizures. Despite treatment with phenytoin and diazepam, her seizures persisted. Laboratory tests revealed hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and decreased intact parathyroid hormone level. Following treatment with valproic acid and calcium supplementation, her seizures ceased. Thorough examination including laboratory tests play a crucial role in the accurate diagnosis of primary hypoparathyroidism in a patient with recurrent seizures.
