Kurzfassung:
Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is a benign dominantly inherited condition, in which the total and ionized calcium are maintained at values well above the normal range.1 When an affected mother is carrying an unaffected fetus, the fetus is chronically exposed to pathologically high calcium levels and neonatal hypoparathyroidism would be expected, as we2 and others have reported.3,4 Conversely, when a fetus is affected, but the mother is not, the fetus might be expected to develop hyperparathyroidism, which should manifest at birth. These infants may require emergency surgery5 or may be managed medically until the hyperparathyroidism subsides.6,7 We report here an infant with FHH, a first cousin of our previous case, who presented with hyperparathyroidism and skeletal demineralization.
