Abstract
Pseudohypoparathyroidism due to deficient end organ response to parathyroid hormone
(PTH) is characterized by hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and increased serum PTH. We
report a case of an 8-year-old girl with pseudohypoparathyroidism without features of
Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy. The case is of interest as the child on serial follow-up
over a period of 2 years developed hypothyroidism. This is a rare feature seen in
pseudohypoparathyroidism type1b.
