Hypothyroidism is a manifestation of multi-hormonal resistance in pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP Ia). The aim of this article was to present 9 months old male patient as case of congenital hypothyroidism. We describe a 9 months old male diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism at age 1.5 month, who developed later (at age 5 months) cyanotic attack associated with hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphatemia, and hyperparathyroidism, patient had typical characters of AHO, so the diagnosis of Pseudohypoparathyroidism 1a associated with resistance (TSH) was established. Children diagnosed with PHP 1a should be further evaluated for associated resistance endocrinopathies. The literature on pseudohypoparathyroidism is reviewed with special emphasis on the misdiagnosis with congenital hypothyroidism.

D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D011547 Pseudohypoparathyroidism A hereditary syndrome clinically similar to HYPOPARATHYROIDISM. It is characterized by HYPOCALCEMIA; HYPERPHOSPHATEMIA; and associated skeletal development impairment and caused by failure of response to PARATHYROID HORMONE rather than deficiencies. A severe form with resistance to multiple hormones is referred to as Type 1a and is associated with maternal mutant allele of the ALPHA CHAIN OF STIMULATORY G PROTEIN.

D002864 Chromogranins A group of acidic proteins that are major components of SECRETORY GRANULES in the endocrine and neuroendocrine cells. They play important roles in the aggregation, packaging, sorting, and processing of secretory protein prior to secretion. They are cleaved to release biologically active peptides. There are various types of granins, usually classified by their sources. Chromogranin,Granin,Secretogranin,Secretogranins,Granins
D003409 Congenital Hypothyroidism A condition in infancy or early childhood due to an in-utero deficiency of THYROID HORMONES that can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, such as thyroid dysgenesis or HYPOTHYROIDISM in infants of mothers treated with THIOURACIL during pregnancy. Endemic cretinism is the result of iodine deficiency. Clinical symptoms include severe MENTAL RETARDATION, impaired skeletal development, short stature, and MYXEDEMA.
