Abstract
Hypoparathyoidism is rarely reported during pregnancy or the puerperium. Since hypocalcemia during pregnancy increases the mortality and morbidity of fetus, neonate, and mother, the early diagnosis and treatment of hypocalcemia, especially hypocalcemic crisis, might be very important to reduce severe complications. We experienced a case of hypocalcemic crisis induced by hypoparathyroidism developed after Cesarean section. This case represents symptoms and signs of hypocalcemia such as dyspnea, tingling sensation of upper and lower limbs, chest pain during hypocalcemic crisis. Physicians should be aware of the symptoms and signs, and treatment of hypocalcemic crisis.
Key Words: Hypocalcemic crisis, hypoparathyroidism, Cesarean section
