HYPERCALCEMIC HYPERPARATHYROID CRISIS

Hypercalcemic hyperparathyroid crisis is a rare and potentially life threatening manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism. The article describes a clinical case of a 66-year old female patient who developed hypercalcemic hyperparathyroid crisis after neurosurgical intervention. Computed tomography used for targeted diagnostics detected parathyroid adenoma of the ectopic localization. The conservative therapy failed and the surgery was indicated - thoracoscopic excision of adenoma. This clinical case illustrates the contemporary approaches to diagnostics and management of this disorder
