Primary hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy poses risks, but parathyroidectomy is the definitive treatment. This case explores the safety and efficacy of parathyroidectomy during the third trimester.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Obstetrics
  • Surgical Management

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy presents significant maternal and fetal risks.
  • Parathyroidectomy is the established definitive treatment for this condition.
  • The optimal timing for parathyroidectomy in pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester, remains a subject of clinical debate.

Observation:

  • A case of symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism during the third trimester of pregnancy is presented.
  • The clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and management strategies are detailed.
  • Surgical intervention via parathyroidectomy was performed in the third trimester.

Findings:

  • Parathyroidectomy in the third trimester can be a viable option for managing symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism.

  • The case highlights the successful surgical treatment of a pregnant patient with this endocrine disorder.
  • Discussion encompasses clinical features, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic choices.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of parathyroidectomy safety and feasibility in late pregnancy.
    • It may inform clinical decision-making regarding the timing of surgical intervention for hyperparathyroidism in pregnant individuals.
    • Further research into third-trimester parathyroidectomy can optimize maternal and fetal outcomes.
