Bradycardia Secondary to Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Primary hyperparathyroidism as a secondary cause of depression.

A 27-year-old woman was initially diagnosed and treated for depression with suicide ideation. Thirteen months later, kidney stones, an elevated parathyroid hormone, and elevated calcium levels led to a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Death due to primary hyperparathyroidism.

A hypercalcemia is a common metabolic disorder, usually detected incidentally on routine biochemical screening. The most common etiologies are primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and cancer. Primary hyperparathyroidism is characterized by excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion due to parathyroid adenoma (80% of cases), hyperplasia (15-20%), and carcinoma (1-2%). Primary hyperparathyroidis...

Transient neonatal hyperparathyroidism secondary to maternal pseudohypoparathyroidism.

A neonate was found to have normocalcaemic hyperparathyroidism with bone disease. The plasma parathyroid hormone concentration returned to normal by 4 weeks, and healing of the bone lesions was evident by age 5 months. The mother proved to have pseudohypoparathyroidism, previously unsuspected.
