The French pathologist Trousseau first described a patient with hemochromatosis in 1865. Four years later, the German pathologist Von Recklinghausen (1889) coined the phrase hemochromatosis when describing a patient with pigmentation ( chrom ) thought to be caused by a factor in the bloodstream ( hemo ).

Neurologic Chvostek s and/or Trousseau s signs can be elicited during physical examination. The hallmark of acute hypocalcemia is tetany, which is characterized by neuromuscular irritability including seizure potential. Ex-trapyramidal disorders, mainly parkinsonism but also dystonia, hemiballismus, choreoathetosis, and oculogyric crises, occur in 5% to 10% of patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism.

Trousseau was first to describe the association between thrombosis and malignant disease over 100 years ago (Tl). Despite this finding, the exact biochemical mechanisms responsible for this pathophysiological correlation still remain to be characterized. Recent research has focused on the PA/PAI system due to its central role in hemostasis and the biochemical similarities...

The nurse may observe central nervous system (CNS) symptoms, including altered mental status with paresthesias, delirium, convulsions, seizures, and coma, as well as muscle cramping, tetany, and hyperexcitability (Chvostek and Trousseau signs). In addition, hypotension and heart failure, as well as a pronlonged QT interval, may be noted. Long-term hyperphosphatemia can result in vascular wall calcification and arteriosclerosis with increased blood pressure and ventricular hypertrophy. 

A tourniquet applied to the upper arm induces carpopedal spasm due to contraction of the flexors of the arm and wrist, the extensors of the phalanges, and the abductor of the thumb. These combinations of muscle contractions lead to a position of the hand referred to as Trousseau s sign. The application of a mild galvanic current (below 6 milliamps) to the motor nerves leads to contraction of the muscles controlled by these nerves (Erb s sign).
