Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Infancy
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Primary hyperparathyroidism in the neonate is a rare and often fatal disorder. These patients manifest severe hypercalcemia, respiratory distress, muscular hypotonia and skeletal demineralization.
We experienced an infant with primary hyperparathyroidism whose symptoms were atypical and nonspecific as described above. Because of its rarity of occurrence and nonspecific symptoms, he could'nt be correctly diagnosed sooner, and moreover there
was a
difficulty to locate parathyroid glands in preoperative period.
Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation of parathyroid gland was carried out successfully, and there was no sequelae after operation.
