Hypoparathyroidism and ankylosing spondylitis are two conditions with distinctive features which allow their differentiation. Hypoparathyroidism can be responsible for clinical and radiological changes resembling those seen in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. We report an exceptional case of a patient with an association between ankylosing spondylitis and a severe idiopathic hypoparathyroidism with difficulties in diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of such an occurrence.

Hypoparathyroidism is rare in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we describe a case of SLE coexisted with hypoparathyroidism and ankylosing spondylitis with definite diagnosis, and also give a review of past five cases of SLE with hypoparathyroidism. We find that hypoparathyroidism is easily ignored by subtle manifestations despite of its significant complications. More attention should be paid to clues to hypocalcemia, symptoms of central nervous system and prolonged QT interval on electrocardiogram. The three diseases may be coexistent of genetically determined markers. The cause of hypoparathyroidism in SLE patient is not clear. It may be independent of SLE.

Patients with parathyroid disease can have important musculoskeletal problems.Hypoparathyroidism can cause subcutaneous calcifications, tetany, muscle cramps,and paresthesias, but also myopathies and an ankylosing spondylitis-like back disease. Hypoparathyroidism can occur in SLE caused by antiparathyroid antibodies.Patients with hyperparathyroidism can develop bone disease with cysts, erosions,and deformities. They can also develop pseudogout, gout, myopathies, and tendon ruptures.

Parathyroid dysfunction, leading to severe clinical symptoms and radiographic changes, has decreased over the last years due to routine laboratory checks including serum calcium levels. Thus, abnormal calcium levels are detected early in the course of the disease and the underlying cause treated accordingly. Hyperparathyroidism often leads to osteoporosis and low-trauma fractures. When evaluating secondary osteoporosis analysis of calcium, phosphate and intact parathyroid hormone levels are mandatory. Osteitis fibrosa cystica and brown tumors are less frequent findings of hyperparathyroidism. However, in patients with arthritis or bone symptoms, hyperparathyroidism has to be evaluated as a possible reason. Other manifestations of hyperparathyroidism include myopathy, tendon ruptures and unspecific symptoms of the muscles and skeleton. Gout as well as pseudogout may be associated with hyperparathyroidism. Hypoparathyroidism may cause musculoskeletal diseases mimicking ankylosing spondylitis or diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. Myopathies are sometimes induced by hypoparathyroidism. An association between systemic lupus erythematosus and hypoparathyroidism seems to exist.

Cervical bony outgrowths or osteophytes are common and usually asymptomatic. In some cases, they may be associated with dysphagia, dysphonia, dyspnea and pulmonary aspiration. The most common causes of cervical osteophytes are osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and ankylosing hyperostosis or Diffuse Idiopathic Spinal Hyperostosis (DISH), also known as Forestier's Disease. Other causes are hypoparathyroidism, trauma, acromegaly, ochronosis and flourosis. However, while dysphagia due to osteophytes is reported in the setting of DISH, it is very rare with osteoarthritis. We report a case of a patient who developed dysphagia due to anterior cervical osteophytes in the setting of osteoarthritis.

Patients with chronic idiopathic hypoparathyroidism may develop neurological complications, including calcification of the basal ganglia and other areas of the brain. In Fahr's syndrome, intracranial calcification is associated with an underlying disorder such as hypo or hyperparathyroidism. We report the case of a 37-year-old gentleman, with a history of bilateral cataract surgery and seizures, who presented with a new episode of seizure and was found to have severe hypocalcemia and bilateral symmetric intracranial calcification due to previously diagnosed primary hypoparathyroidism. He had symptoms and signs mimicking ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but with negative radiological and serological findings, not fitting into the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthropathies (SpA), as per standard criteria. Patients with long-standing idiopathic hypoparathyroidism can have severe calcification of soft tissues and bones, including vertebrae and paravertebral soft tissues, causing inflammatory back pain and stiffness. It is vital to report such cases as their occurrence is rare, and physicians should be aware of the possibility while evaluating patients with inflammatory back pain. Treatment in these cases is directed towards hypocalcemia and underlying primary pathology rather than spondyloarthropathy.
