Pseudohypoparathyroidism was first described by Albright in 1942. Since then, over forty cases have been reported in Japan. We report a case of a eighteen-year-old female. She was born at term without complications, and first seen at our hospital in 1972, complaining epileptic convulsion, short stature and mental deficiency. Laboratory studies showed low serum Ca, and high serum P, and defect of active response to P. T. H. (Ellisworth-Howard test). Activity of P. T. H. was not measured. After admission, the patient was medicated with 5, 000units of Vit. D 2, 300, 000u. of D 3 and Ca Gluconate. After three months, serum Ca and P got back to the normal level, and epileptic convulsion was also diminished. Since 1972, no epileptic convulsion was occurred but short stature and brachydactylia remained unchanged.
