Carpopedal spasm have various causes ranging from dsyselecrolytemia, syndromic, metabolic or endocrine causes. Any of these could cause a decrease in ionized calcium and tetany. Excessive vomiting leading to alkalosis, hypokaleamia and decreased ionised calcium should be kept in mind for early etiological diagnosis of carpopedal spasm. We report a case of 4-year-old boy presenting with a history of recurrent painful spasm and flexion of bilateral hands following excessive vomiting and electrolyte derangement.
手足搐搦有多种病因,包括电解质紊乱、综合征性、代谢性或内分泌性病因。其中任何一种都可能导致离子钙减少和手足搐搦症。应牢记过度呕吐导致碱中毒、低钾血症和离子钙降低,以便对手足搐搦进行早期病因诊断。我们报告一例4岁男孩,有反复发生的疼痛性痉挛病史,在过度呕吐和电解质紊乱后出现双侧手部屈曲。
