Abstract

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a medical disorder characterized by a complex disorder of renal resistance to parathyroid hormone and the mechanism underlying the disease is still unclear. The autors described two cases of Pseudohypoparathyroidism in sibling, who had metabolic anomalies(hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, high circulating immunoreactive PTH) and basal ganglia calcification. Bilateral basa ganglia calcifications, which was not visible on plain skull fim, was detected by CT scan or brain MRI. We report these cases with a review of related literatures.
