Emergency parathyroidectomy for severe symptomatic hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism; a case report

Abstract

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine abnormality and is rarely seen in the pediatric population. Patients may present with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, muscle weakness or paresthesia, gait disturbance, general condition disorder, which mimic many diseases. In this case report, a 13-year-old male patient who underwent emergency parathyroidectomy is discussed. The patient in this case report was admitted to the Emergency Department with complaints of fever, malaise, severe fatigue, frequent urination and nausea. Medical treatment was administered with a diagnosis of upper respiratory tract infection. After medical treatment, there was no regression in his complaints and he was admitted to the emergency room again. Further tests were performed and primary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed. Emergency parathyroidectomy was performed because his symptoms and hypercalcemia persisted despite medical treatment for hyperparathyroidism. Emergency parathyroidectomy is an effective treatment option in patients with persistent hypercalcemia and related symptoms despite medical treatment.
