Snippet: Seizures secondary to hypocalcemia have been well documented and studied. There are various causes of hypocalcemia described in the literature, but a prolonged seizure episode leading to cell lysis, severe hyperphosphatemia, and hypocalcemia is rarely reported. We present the case of a 3-year-old male with severe hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia secondary to the likely presence of cell lysis from prolonged seizure activity.

There are various causes of hypocalcemia described in the literature, but a prolonged seizure episode leading to cell lysis, severe hyperphosphatemia, and hypocalcemia is rarely reported. We present the case of a 3-year-old male with severe hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia secondary to the likely presence of cell lysis from prolonged seizure activity. Our case illustrates the importance of a thorough evaluation of the possible differentials of hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia in a challenging presentation.
