Scintigraphic evaluation of multifocal osteolytic lesions in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism: A case report
Osteitis fibrosa cystica is the classic patognomonic form of skeletal disease in hyperparathyroidism that characterizes with decreased cortical bone thickness compared to increased cancellous bone. We present a case of 52-year old female patient with osteolysis of the left calf on radiographic images. The bone scan detected multiple focal pathological accumulations in the skull, left tibia, bot...
متن کاملParathyroid Localization and Implications for Clinical Management
Clinical Context: The prevalence of hyperparathyroidism, especially primary hyperparathyroidism, has increased in recent decades due to improvements in diagnostic techniques with a corresponding surge in parathyroid surgery, leading to the development of focused, minimally invasive surgical approaches. Focused parathyroidectomy is predicated on preoperative localization of suspected parathyroid...
متن کاملLiterature review in the treatment of calciphylaxis:A case with uncontrolled and severe secondary hyperparathyroidism
Background: Calciphylaxis is a serious disorder often observed in dialysis patients and less frequently in chronic renal failure patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Mortality rate increases following the development of calciphylaxis, immediate application of parathyroidectomy along with other treatment options may be lifesaving. Case Presentation: A 44-year-old male patient had been...
متن کاملNeonatal primary hyperparathyroidism masked by vitamin D deficiency.
Neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism is a life threatening disorder that is associated with severe hypercalcaemia, hypotonia, bone demineralization, fractures and respiratory distress. Treatment consists of total parathyroidectomy and without this affected infants will usually die by the age of three months. We report a patient with neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism who survived without frac...
متن کاملEffect of coating thickness of iron oxide nanoparticles on their relaxivity in the MRI
Objective(s):Iron oxide nanoparticles have found prevalent applications in various fields including drug delivery, cell separation and as contrast agents. Super paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles allow researchers and clinicians to enhance the tissue contrast of an area of interest by increasing the relaxation rate of water. In this study, we evaluate the dependency of hydrodynamic si...
