    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Management

    Background:

    • The case involves a 34-year-old female with a history of thyroidectomy and diagnosed hypoparathyroidism.
    • The patient was undergoing surgical correction for bilateral ptosis.
    • Replacement therapy was being administered for her hypoparathyroidism.

    Observation:

    • Peri-operative management of hypoparathyroidism presents unique challenges.
    • Maintaining stable calcium levels is crucial during surgical procedures for patients with hypoparathyroidism.

    Findings:

    • Successful surgical correction of bilateral ptosis was achieved.
    • The patient's hypoparathyroidism was managed effectively during the peri-operative period.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing patients with complex endocrine and surgical needs.
    • Optimal peri-operative care protocols are essential for patients with hypoparathyroidism undergoing elective surgery.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology and therapeutic management of hypoparathyroidism is critical for surgical success.
