Abstract

Severe hypocalcemia in the clinical setting is most commonly seen in the post thyroidectomy patient because of transient/permanent hypoparathyroidism because of intraoperative injury [1].

Sometimes it is seen as part of an autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome [2].Rarely is it seen as a part of PTH receptor resistance. Here we report a case with characteristic phenotypical abnormalities and multiple electrolyte deficiencies and anemia.
