ALBRIGHT HEREDITARY OSTEODYSTROPHY: A CASE REPORT

Ahsan Shaikh Dr

Abstract


Parathyroid hormone is a vital hormone which maintains calcium and phosphorous balance in the body. It acts on kidbney through distal tubule calcium resorption, bone resorption, and increased production of 1,25 hydroxy vitamin D. Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, first described in 20th centry consists of a combination of symptoms which include round face, short stature, brachydactyly, subcutaneous calcification and dental anomalies. It is a condition in which body does not respond to parathyroid hormone. It is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder. We report a case of a 13- year old boy having characteristic signs of subcutaneous calcification, hypocalcemia, hyperparathyroidism and calcifications on brain CT scan which led to the diagnosis. The patient was prescribed calcium, calcitriol and dietary phosphate restriction
