    Neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism, a rare condition causing failure to thrive, can be inherited. Early surgical intervention, like parathyroidectomy, is crucial for survival and normal development.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Endocrinology
    • Genetics
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism is a severe endocrine disorder often presenting as failure to thrive.
    • It can manifest as an autosomal dominant trait, affecting multiple family members.
    • Untreated neonatal hyperparathyroidism is frequently fatal.

    Observation:

    • This report details two brothers diagnosed with neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism.
    • Their father also exhibited hyperparathyroidism, strongly suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance.
    • Pathological examination revealed chief cell hyperplasia in the parathyroid glands.

    Findings:

    • One affected brother underwent total parathyroidectomy and has survived for 14 years.
    • Near-total parathyroidectomy is identified as the minimum surgical procedure to manage hypercalcemia.

  • While permanent hypoparathyroidism can be a consequence, treatment is feasible.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and prompt surgical management are critical for improving outcomes in neonatal hyperparathyroidism.
    • Surgical intervention, particularly parathyroidectomy, can be life-saving.
    • With appropriate treatment, affected infants can achieve normal growth and development despite the condition.
