Abstract:

Rapidly developing cataract in idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is rare. Here we report, a case of cataract which developed rapidly and was associated with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in a 20- year-old female patient. The case is being reported for its rarity and early diagnosis which was presented in a tertiary care hospital. For cases like these, prompt treatment is essential which may result in prevention of complications like vision loss. As per literature research via pubmed.com, this is the first case report of rapidly developing cataract in a patient of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in Pakistan.
