Abstract

Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by symptoms and signs of hypoparathyroidism in association with distinctive skeletal and developmental defects. The pseudohypoparathyroidism is due to deficient end organ response to the endogenous hormone. It is represented by excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone and hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands, a response to the resistance to hormone action at the target tissues, kidney and bone. We report an unusual case of Albright syndrome associated with a ureteral stone in 3.5 years old female patient.
