Hyperparathyroidism secondary to maternal hypoparathyroidism and vitamin D deficiency: an uncommon cause of neonatal respiratory distress

Abstract: A 4-day-old neonate presented with respiratory distress owing to chest wall deformity associated with metabolic bone disease. He was found to have congenital hyperparathyroidism and his mother was suffering from post-surgical hypoparathyroidism and vitamin D deficiency. The patient was given calcium lactate and maintenance doses of vitamin D. The respiratory distress subsided, the parathyroid hormone level returned to normal and by 4 weeks of age bone mineral content had improved. Congenital hyperparathyroidis… Show more

“…Skeletal deformities, fractures, parathyroid hyperplasia and clinical complications (e.g. respiratory distress, poor feeding and hypotonia) may result (27,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36). Conversely, maternal overtreatment resulting in hypercalcaemia can suppress foetal parathyroid development causing neonatal hypocalcaemia.…”

“…However, in specific cases, asymptomatic women have not been recognized until the newborn presented with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcemia, increased bone resorption, and fractures (242,912). If the mother remains hypocalcemic during pregnancy, maternal hypoparathyroidism can have a serious adverse impact on the fetus and neonate (492).…”

“…Typically, mothers of babies with congenital rickets have osteomalacia with severe vitamin D deficiency, low calcium intake, and hypocalcemia at delivery and had not taken vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy [83,[183][184][185][186][187][188][189][190][191][192][193][194][195][196][197] . In rare cases, congenital rickets can occur when mothers have had severe prolonged hypocalcemia not primarily caused by vitamin D deficiency such as poorly treated hypoparathyroidism [198][199][200][201] , renal failure [202][203][204][205][206] , received phosphate-containing enemas [207] , or iatrogenic hypermagnesemia [208] .…”
