Abstract A girl with untreated idiopathic hypoparathyroidism presented with muscle weakness, depressed tendonreflexes and elevated serum creatine kinase. No morphological alterations of skeletal muscle or inhibition of muscle phosphorylase could be demonstrated. It is suggested that the myopathic symptoms may be due to functional changes of the muscle membrane during hypocalcemia.
