Abstract
Aim. Description of the features of differential diagnosis and treatment of convulsive syndrome in children with pseudohypoparathyroidism on the example of a clinical case.
Key points. Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare hereditary disease in which clinical and laboratory signs of hypoparathyroidism are noted against the background of an increased level of parathyroid hormone in the blood. The pathogenesis of pseudohypoparathyroidism is based on the resistance of peripheral tissues to parathyroid hormone. One of the first clinical manifestations of this disease may be convulsive syndrome, which requires a broad differential diagnostic search.
Conclusion. The effectiveness of treatment of convulsive conditions directly depends on a correctly established diagnosis, and therefore it is extremely important for a doctor to competently navigate the differential diagnosis of conditions, one of the manifestations of which may be convulsive syndrome. Thus, a rationally structured systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of convulsive syndrome will successfully identify its cause and prescribe the right treatment. The diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism requires a multidisciplinary approach from a team of doctors.
