Primary hypomagnesia with secondary hypocalcemia is a rare genetic disorder that appears in early infancy. The cause of this disease is an impaired intestinal absorption of magnesium leading to its low serum level accompanied by hypocalcemia. Typical signs at initial manifestation are generalized seizures, tetany and/or muscle spasms. The prognosis of the disease depends on rapidity and accuracy of the diagnosis.
