SPONTANEOUS NEAR-REMISSION OF HYPERPARATHYROIDISM AFTER PARATHYROID CRISIS

Parathyroid apoplexy, the explanation of spontaneous remission of primary hyperparathyroidism: a case report

Primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma represents an endocrine disease that is usually treated by surgical intervention (parathyroidectomy). In a very few patients, primary hyperparathyroidism can be spontaneously remit either by infraction or hemorrhage of the adenoma,a fact that is almost certain that will not lead to complete and definite cure. We describe a similar case of a...

Spontaneous Resolution of Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Parathyroid Adenoma

A 71 yo woman with primary hyperparathyroidism awaiting surgery because of significant hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria presented to the local emergency department with the chief complaints of discomfort in her neck, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing. She was found to be hypocalcemic with a calcium level of 8.1 mg/dL. She was seen by her endocrinologist three days later at which time serum...

Recurrent Primary Hyperparathyroidism after Autotransplantation of an Excised Parathyroid Adenoma

Introduction: We present a patient with recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism after reimplantation of a portion of an excised parathyroid adenoma. To our knowledge, there has been only one other case reported in the literature describing a re-implanted parathyroid adenoma as the culprit for recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism. Case Description: A 65-year-old female presented with recurrent pr...

Parathyroid graft function after presternal subcutaneous autotransplantation for renal hyperparathyroidism.

HYPOTHESIS Presternal subcutaneous autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue after total parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism could be at least as effective as intramuscular grafting, without its complications. DESIGN Prospective study of a postoperative diagnostic method of monitoring intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels among a cohort of surgical patients, without loss to fol...
