  Abstract Findings in a case of neonatal tetany in a child whose mother had elevated blood parathyroid hormone levels because of a parathyroid adenoma are given. The child was found to have hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and hyperphosphatemia. [annals.org]

  CASES of neonatal tetany not due to rickets were reported in the early 1900's. It was only during the last 30 to 40 years, however, that the relation between tetany in the newborn infant and hypocalcemia has been elucidated. [nejm.org]

  ABSTRACT Four children; all between 10-40 days of age, were admitted with multiple episodes of multifocal seizure. [degruyter.com]

  Hypocalcemia can slow down your heart, which can impair oxygen delivery to the brain and provoke a seizure. Seizure control Infants with hypocalcemia and seizures need prompt attention in order to control the convulsions. [livestrong.com]

• Convulsions

  Also when methods of clinical inclusion/EEG are used, evaluating only the epileptic phenomena, convulsive crises with minimal clinical signs are observed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Usually, babies have normal blood calcium levels, but low calcium, or hypocalcemia, can cause significant health consequences, including convulsions. [livestrong.com]

  Although only occasionally reported previously, MIO remains essentially unrecognized by clinicians as a cause of neonatal hypocalcemia, which often results in diagnostic confusion and delay. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Tetany It is important not to confuse seizures in a neonate with tetany. Tetany is a painful, sustained spasm of the hands and feet that can mimic seizure activity. Decreased calcium levels can also cause tetany. [livestrong.com]

To understand the pathophysiology of neonatal hypocalcemia that accompanies this disorder, transplacental calcium dynamics were studied in female sheep during the last trimester of pregnancy and in their fetal lambs after hysterotomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It has been postulated that the pathophysiologic mechanism of the hypocalcemia in this syndrome is transient hypoparathyroidism. [annals.org]

IDMs demonstrate a delay in this postnatal parathyroid hormone response, the pathophysiology of which is not well established. [jemds.com]

These bone density losses are significantly reversed within twelve months of weaning. [2] Pathophysiology Hypocalcemia manifests as central nervous system (CNS) irritability and poor muscular contractility. [emedicine.medscape.com]
