Abstract

Secondary hypoparathyroidism is seldom seen during pregnancy. Usually, it presents with hypocalcemia. Even if there is no established therapeutic treatment, Vitamin D or its analogues are required. In the present case, a 36-year-old, second gravida, with known hypoparathyroidism for the last ten years, was admitted in the prenatal clinic of "Aretaieion" University Hospital in Athens at her 39 weeks of pregnancy. She was treated with calcitriol and calcium' and she was monitored monthly. She had a cesarian section and delivered a healthy female baby of 3,380 gr at 39 weeks and 1 day.
