Multiple intracranial calcifications and spinal compressions: rare complications of type la pseudohypoparathyroidism.
Type la pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP la) is an unusual inherited disease. PHP la often causes extraskeletal calcifications and even soft tissue ossifications. Patients may present neurologic symptoms and signs related to hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. We report here a 38-yr-old woman with PHP la who had two uncommon neurologic complications. One was involuntary movements related to basal ganglia calcification, and the other was myelopathy owing to ossifications of the posterior longitudinal ligament and multiple herniated intervertebral disks. Aggressive body weight control and corrections of hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated PTH may be important to prevent these unusual neurologic complications. Regular and careful neurologic examinations should be performed for early diagnosis and treatments of these spinal lesions.
