| phosphate tetany | Tetany due to the ingestion of an excess of alkaline phosphates (Na2HPO4 or K2HPO4); most commonly produced experimentally in animals by the injection of alkaline phosphate, which reduces the ionised calcium of the blood. (05 Mar 2000) |

| manifest tetany | Tetany from any cause in which neuromuscular hyperexcitability are clearly evident, as opposed to latent tetany. Synonym: symptomatic tetany. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parathyroid tetany | Tetany due to lack of parathyroid function, spontaneous or following excision of the parathyroid glands. Synonym: hypoparathyroid tetany, parathyroprival tetany, tetania parathyreopriva. (05 Mar 2000) |
