    Treating primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy, especially in the second trimester, significantly reduces risks for both mother and child. Surgical intervention ensures normal pregnancy outcomes and healthy infant development.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Obstetrics
    • Surgical Management

    Background:

    • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) in pregnancy is rare but poses risks to maternal and fetal health.
    • Untreated PHP can lead to hypercalcemia, increasing the likelihood of pregnancy complications.

    Observation:

    • A case of a pregnant woman with PHP successfully treated with surgery in the second trimester, resulting in a normal pregnancy and delivery.
    • Literature review of 72 previous cases highlights the outcomes of surgical versus non-surgical management during pregnancy.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention during pregnancy, particularly in the second trimester, is associated with significantly lower rates of fetal complications compared to untreated hyperparathyroidism.
    • Of 23 operated patients, 18 had normal births, while 40 of 79 births in untreated hyperparathyroid pregnancies had complications.

    Implications:

    • Surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy, when diagnosed, is recommended to minimize maternal and fetal risks.
    • Timely correction of hypercalcemia supports normal fetal parathyroid gland development and function.
    • Optimal timing for surgery is the second trimester to significantly reduce complication rates.
