The Parathyroid Glands00:59

The Parathyroid Glands

2.4K
The two pairs of parathyroid glands embedded within the posterior surface of the thyroid gland are restricted by a dense capsule around them. These glands comprise two distinct cell populations—parathyroid oxyphil and parathyroid principal cells- pivotal in calcium homeostasis.
Oxyphil cells, whose functions remain elusive, emerge during late puberty, adding a layer of complexity to the parathyroid gland's intricacies. In contrast, principal parathyroid cells undertake a vital role by...

Hormones and Bone Tissue01:17

Hormones and Bone Tissue

2.9K
The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Skeleton and Calcium Homeostasis01:21

Skeleton and Calcium Homeostasis

4.7K
Calcium is not only the most abundant mineral in bone but also the most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium ions are needed for bone mineralization, tooth health, heart rate regulation and strength of contraction, blood coagulation, the contraction of smooth and skeletal muscle cells, and the regulation of nerve impulse conduction. The average calcium level in the blood is about 10 mg/dL. When the body cannot maintain this level, a person will experience hypo or hypercalcemia.

Adrenal Gland Disorders01:27

Adrenal Gland Disorders

1.8K
Adrenal gland disorders manifest when the production of adrenal hormones deviates from the norm, resulting in either excessive or insufficient concentrations.
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...

Summary

This case study highlights primary hyperparathyroidism, a condition causing high calcium levels, which can present as neck pain in elderly patients. Prompt diagnosis through calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) testing is crucial.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Presents a rare case of spontaneously diagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism in a 75-year-old female.
  • The patient had a history of type 2 diabetes and hypertension, treated with metformin and ramipiril.
  • Symptoms included tingling in the arms and worsening cervical pain over six months.

Purpose:

  • To document a case of primary hyperparathyroidism presenting with unusual symptoms.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering endocrine disorders in elderly patients with non-specific pain.

Summary:

  • A 75-year-old female presented with cervical pain and tingling, initially suspected to be arthrosis.
  • Investigations revealed primary hyperparathyroidism due to diffuse parathyroid hyperplasia, with significantly elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels (916.60pg/ml).
  • The diagnosis was confirmed through comprehensive medical, biological, surgical, and pathological evaluations.

Impact:

  • Suggests that diffuse poly-arthralgia in the elderly may indicate underlying endocrine issues beyond arthrosis.
  • Underscores the necessity of blood calcium and PTH level testing for accurate diagnosis in such cases.
