Focal Seizures in a Patient With Chronic Basal Ganglia Calcifications Secondary to Idiopathic Primary Hypoparathyroidism.
Patients with hypoparathyroidism can present with concurrent basal ganglia calcifications (BGCs). The exact pathogenesis is unknown, although it is thought to relate to calcium-phosphate deposition from chronic hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with known idiopathic primary hypoparathyroidism and concurrent extensive BGC. Thirty years after diagnosis, he presented with focal seizures despite a decade of stable intracranial calcifications on imaging. Serum calcium, phosphate, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and parathyroid hormone levels were well controlled during this period. He was commenced on lifelong levetiracetam with subsequent seizure remission. Given the scarcity of literature surrounding focal seizures and BGC, it is essential to raise awareness in this area.
