Abstract

magnesium, selenium and zinc. The clinical symptoms of primary hypomagnesemia develop within the first months of life. Different neurological signs, such as irritability, jitteriness evolving into tetany and carpo- pedal spasm, were reported. Opisthotonus, general- ized convulsions or raised intracranial pressure may develop. The disease is caused by impaired absorption of magnesium. Treatment with high-dose magnesium supplementation is very effective.
