Spontaneous healing of osteitis fibrosa cystica in primary hyperparathyroidism.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 24-year-old man with primary hyperparathyroidism and osteitis fibrosa cystica developed acute hypocalcaemia. Spontaneous healing of his bone disease was confirmed radiographically and by correction of the serum alkaline phosphatase. Hypercalcaemia associated with a raised serum parathyroid hormone recurred 90 weeks after the initial presentation. During the fourth neck exploration a parathyroid adenoma was removed, resulting in resolution of his condition. Haemorrhagic infarction of an adenoma was the most likely cause of the acute hypocalcaemic episode.

Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica (OFC) is defined as the classic skeletal manifestation of advanced primary hyperparathyroidism. With the increased detection by means of routine calcium screening, the clinical profile of primary hyperparathyroidism in Western countries has shifted from symptomatic disease to one with subtle or no specific symptoms ("asymptomatic" primary hyperparathyroidism).

متن کاملPrimary hyperparathyroidism and pathological fractures: a review.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is due most often to a parathyroid adenoma secreting parathyroid hormone. Elevated PTH levels cause bone resorption, the formation of polyostotic lesions and a reduction in bone mineral density, predisposing to pathological fractures. The final stage of this disease is osteitis fibrosa cystica. The authors review the literature about osteitis fibrosa cystica and the ...
