Iatrogenic Hypoparathyroidism: Basal Ganglia Calcification, Bilateral Cataract, and Medullary Nephrocalcinosis
Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder characterised by low levels of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone. This report highlights iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism in a juvenile Graves' disease patient post near-total thyroidectomy, leading to low serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. Uncommon complications emerged, including asymptomatic basal ganglia calcification, medullary nephrocalcinosis, and bilateral cataracts. The case emphasises the need to recognize and manage the complexities linked to hypoparathyroidism resulting from surgical interventions in autoimmune thyroid disorders.
