Case Reports[Hypocalcemic seizures in two newborn siblings revealing hyperparathyroidism in the mother].
We report the case of a term neonate who developed hypocalcemic seizures due to transient hypoparathyroidism on the sixth postnatal day. His brother had had a similar episode after his birth four years earlier. ⋯ A parathyroid adenoma was found and removed surgically. This case-report is the opportunity for reviewing presenting manifestations, diagnostic difficulties, potential complications of this infrequent maternofetal condition, and therapeutic aspects.
