Intracranial Calcification in an Elderly Woman with Carpopedal Spasm

Abstract

A 66-year old woman presented to us with syncope and carpopedal spasm. The history of her condition started 10 years ago as recurrent loss of consciousness associated with carpopedal spasm occurring at 2-3 times in a year. A medical consult led to a diagnosis of hypocalcemia, and she has since been maintained on oral calcium supplementation
