[Case of severe hypercalcemic crisis in primary hyperparathyroidism].

Area of Science:

• Endocrinology
• Surgical Pathology

Background:

• Hypercalcemic crisis is a critical condition requiring prompt diagnosis and management.
• Parathyroid adenoma is a common cause of hypercalcemia, necessitating effective treatment strategies.

Observation:

• A patient presented with severe hypercalcemic crisis.
• Initial conservative treatment temporarily reduced calcium levels but was not curative.

Findings:

• Clinical, paraclinical, and instrumental investigations confirmed parathyroid adenoma.
• Adenectomy, a surgical intervention, was performed as a definitive treatment.

Implications:

• Surgical management of parathyroid adenoma can lead to sustained normocalcemia.
• This case highlights the efficacy of adenectomy for resolving hypercalcemic crisis.
