Hypercalcaemia in adolescent tetraplegic patients: case report and review.

The paper presents the case history of a 15-year-old boy with traumatic tetraplegia who developed hypercalcaemia within 6 weeks of injury. The condition was initially controlled by the infusion of intravenous fluids in large amounts and by the administration of calcitonin. After 3 weeks, calcitonin became ineffective. Eventually the hypercalcaemia responded to cortisone administered in low dosage. The endocrinologic implications of this observation are discussed.
