Management of hypoparathyroidism during pregnancy following late maternal diagnosis of DiGeorge syndrome: a case report

This case highlights the importance of evaluating persistent hypocalcemia during pregnancy, even in the absence of clinical symptoms, and considering genetic causes when acquired etiologies are excluded. The postpartum period requires continued monitoring, as hormonal shifts can unmask calcium imbalance. Early recognition of DiGeorge syndrome carries implications for reproductive counseling, neonatal screening, and long-term family planning.

Abstract

This case highlights the importance of evaluating persistent hypocalcemia during pregnancy, even in the absence of clinical symptoms, and considering genetic causes when acquired etiologies are excluded. The postpartum period requires continued monitoring, as hormonal shifts can unmask calcium imbalance. Early recognition of DiGeorge syndrome carries implications for reproductive counseling, neonatal screening, and long-term family planning.
