Remember the pathophysiology of Neonatal hypoglycemia due to maternal gestational diabetes...its the same here.
Too much PTH due to asymptomatic parathyroid adenoma in mother resulting in high serum Ca++ in the fetus and excessive suppression of PTH, with manifestations of hypocalcemia after birth when high maternal PTH is no longer present.
