Konversion eines postoperativen Hypoparathyreoidismus in einen Hyperparathyreoidismus bei ektopem Nebenschilddrüsenadenom

Abstract

We present a patient with a history of thyroid cancer, presumably following radiochemotherapy of a childhood medulloblastoma, who developed a primary hyperparathyroidism 10 years after long-term postsurgical hypoparathyroidism. All established imaging modalities failed to detect the origin and only selective neck sampling could identify the suspected parathyroid adenoma causing hyperparathyroidism. This encourages the use of selective neck vein catheterization, particularly in patients with only slightly elevated parathyroid hormone-levels or suspected small ectopic adenoma.
