| Core Tip |
We report a case of patient misdiagnosed with “epilepsy,” who responded well to calcium gluconate. Upon admission, the patient exhibited altered consciousness, which was initially attributed to epilepsy. However, subsequent tests identified situs inversus totalis (SIT). Despite achieving stabilization, recurring hand muscle spasms persisted. The diagnosis was revised to hypoparathyroidism with SIT and was managed via supplementation with calcium and vitamin D. Effective symptom control was noted at the nine-month follow-up. |
