Hyperparathyroidism with Chondrocalcinosis and Periarticular Calcification

Periarticular calcification causing acute carpal tunnel syndrome: a case report.

We report a case of acute carpal tunnel syndrome caused by periarticular calcification (hydroxyapatite deposition disease) around the wrist joint in a 64-year-old woman. She had acute severe pain, exacerbated by wrist movements and extension of the fingers. Her full blood count, urea, electrolytes, uric acid, calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and thyroid function levels were all within ...

Periarticular calcification of the ankle. Report of a case.

Aortic valve calcification in mild primary hyperparathyroidism.

CONTEXT It is unclear whether cardiovascular disease is present in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). OBJECTIVE Aortic valve structure and function were compared in PHPT patients and population-based controls. DESIGN This is a case-control study. SETTING The study was conducted in a university hospital metabolic bone disease unit. PARTICIPANTS We studied 51 patients with PHPT and 49 co...

Chondrocalcinosis in primary hyperparathyroidism. Influence of age, metabolic bone disease, and parathyroidectomy.

Chondrocalcinosis is known to be common in hyperparathyroidism. In order to discover the effect of parathyroidectomy on chondrocalcinosis and to investigate this association further, we studied two groups of patients. In one group were 41 postparathyroidectomy patients, and in the other 100 admissions to the acute geriatric unit. The total incidence of chondrocalcinosis in the parathyroidectom...

Corneal calcification as a presenting and diagnostic sign in hyperparathyroidism.

Walsh and Howard (I947) were the first to describe the deposition of calcium salts in the corneae of patients with hypercalcaemia due to hyperparathyroidism. This finding was later supported by Cogan, Albright, and Bartter (1948), and Walsh and Murray (I953) described a further series of patients. Since then no further reports have appeared in the literature on this subject apart from a case de...
