Description

<jats:p><jats:bold>ABSTRACT. </jats:bold> A case of hypercalcemia in neonatal subcutaneous fat necrosis, which was successfully treated with a low Ca and vitamin D‐free formula, is described. Low l,25(OH)<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>D and severe calciuria, which were considered to result from hypercalcemia itself as well as parathyroid suppression, were noted during the hypercalcemic phase. The oral Ca load test was repeatedly normal, suggesting that intestinal hyperabsorprion of Ca was not a cause of the hypercalcemia. Later recurrence of calciuria without hypercalcemia was noted concomitant with softening of indurated calcified necrotic tissue. In this patient, cerebral infarction on the left side was detected by CT scanning.</jats:p>
