Abstract
Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition. The sequelae of hypoparathyroidism and the clinical criteria for the diagnosis of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism are presented. A case fulfilling all of the criteria for the diagnosis of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is reported in detail. The hypoparathyroidism in this case was undoubtedly present but undiagnosed for many years. Response to specific therapy was dramatic. Special emphasis is put upon the reversible emotional and psychologic changes in mild chronic hypoparathyroidism.Keywords
