Cerebrospinal fluid absorption in primary hypoparathyroidism.

M A Sambrook, L F Hill
PMCID: PMC492886  PMID: 591970

Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid absorption has been studied in a patient with primary hypoparathyroidism, papilloedema, and epilepsy. A marked reduction of cerebrospinal fluid transport into plasma was demonstrated which returned to normal after correction of the hypocalcaemia.
