    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Management
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Hyperparathyroid crisis is a severe manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism.
    • Characterized by profoundly elevated serum calcium levels (hypercalcemia).
    • Often presents with significant morbidity and mortality if not promptly addressed.

    Observation:

    • This abstract discusses a rare case of hyperparathyroid crisis.
    • Focuses on hypercalcemia refractory to standard medical therapies.
    • Highlights the critical need for surgical intervention.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention is crucial for managing hypercalcemia resistant to medical treatment.
    • Preoperative challenges, anesthetic considerations, and postoperative recovery are detailed.
    • The case report illustrates successful surgical management.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical consultation is vital for patients with refractory hypercalcemia.
    • Effective preoperative assessment and anesthetic planning improve surgical outcomes.
    • Surgical treatment offers a definitive solution for hyperparathyroid crisis.
