Usually, it presents with hypocalcemia. Even if there is no established therapeutic treatment, vitamin D or its analogues are required. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Presentation of a rare cause of hypocalcemia in childhood and the necessity of measuring serum electrolyte levels in patients presenting with afebrile seizures. a 7.5-year-old female child presented with afebrile seizures lasting 5 min with postictal [ruralneuropractice.com]
This presentation alone is enough to stratify the patient as a high risk for sudden cardiac death and to consider implantation of an automated internal defibrillator. [innovationsincrm.com]
Rather we present the case as an example of unusual manifestation of hypoparathyroidism. Conclusion Primary hypoparathyroidism leading to hypocalcemia may present with vague symptoms which often makes diagnosis difficult. [casereports.in]

RESULTS: (1) In the treatment group, the levels of serum corrected calcium, phosphorus and calcium-phosphate product began to decline after 1 month and exhibited further decrease 3 months later. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Support Groups: Expectations (prognosis): The outcome for secondary hyperparathyroidism depends on the underlying cause. When treated, rickets generally has a good prognosis. Other causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism have variable outcomes. [uclahealth.org]
Prognosis The regular monitoring required to ensure appropriate calcium levels means that the prognosis is challenging for many people. This may improve if synthetic PTH becomes widely available. [patient.info]
Prognosis Hypoparathyroidism can be a temporary condition that stops when its cause is treated, or a permanent condition. [healthand.com]
