Hypocalcemia with stridor is a well-known condition in the pediatric age group but has rarely been reported in the elderly. We report an elderly patient who presented with dyspnea and laryngeal stridor attack caused by hypocalcemia. The patient had been suffering from stridor and dyspnea episodes for 2 years, and the etiology had not been determined until the evaluation in our department. The cause of stridor was hypocalcemia secondary to thyroidectomy. Complete resolution of stridor was achieved by calcium replacement therapy.
低钙血症伴喘鸣在儿童年龄组中是一种众所周知的病症，但在老年人中很少有报道。我们报告了一位老年患者，其因低钙血症出现呼吸困难和喉喘鸣发作。该患者喘鸣和呼吸困难发作已持续2年，直到在我们科室进行评估才确定病因。喘鸣的原因是甲状腺切除术后继发的低钙血症。通过补钙治疗，喘鸣完全缓解。
