Abstract
The parathyroid gland is an important regulator of calcium metabolism and any lesion of this gland such as (parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid hyperplasia, and parathyroid carcinoma) can lead to primary hyperparathyroidism, 1 casing a high secretion of parathyroid hormone which causes calcium, phosphorous, and bone metabolism disorders that could be symptomatic or asymptomatic 2 Parathyroid crisis is rare, accounting for 1–2 percent of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). 3 Parathyroid crisis is associated with severe hypercalcemia with serum calcium concentration usually above 15 mg/dL (3.8 mmol/L) and symptoms of hypercalcemia including anorexia, nausea, constipation, polydipsia, and particularly central nervous system dysfunction. Definitive therapy for parathyroid crisis is parathyroidectomy, however, around 14.8% of patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for PHPT postoperatively develop a condition known as the hungry bone syndrome (HBS). 4 We herein report a case of a young man with a parathyroid crisis, who developed HBS after parathyroidectomy.
