Article Synopsis
  • A 45-year-old woman experienced persistent high calcium levels after undergoing parathyroid surgery.
  • She was later diagnosed with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia due to low calcium in her urine and a family history of similar symptoms.
  • Genetic testing revealed a variant in the CASR gene, marking the first report of this condition in a Chilean family.

We report a boy with hypercalcemia due to neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) caused by a compound heterozygous mutation in the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) managed successfully on a type II calcimimetic drug. The hypercalcemia was temporarily treated by hyperhydration, bisphosphonate and calcium depleted milk. At 29 days of age cinacalcet was introduced.
