4. CONCLUSION
Postoperative permanent hypoparathyroidism can lead to extensive bilateral intracranial calcifications involving basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, and cerebral cortex. Severe hypocalcemia can occur even after several years of surgery; therefore, serum calcium levels of individuals with postoperative permanent hypoparathyroidism should be measured life-long at regular intervals. Hypoparathyroidism should be considered in post-thyroidectomy individuals who present with seizures or intracranial calcifications.
