    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Obstetrics & Gynecology
    • Calcium Metabolism

    Background:

    • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in pregnancy is often overlooked due to infrequent routine calcium screening.
    • Mild, asymptomatic PHPT may not present significant complications during gestation, leading to underdiagnosis.

    Observation:

    • This report details a unique case of a successful pregnancy in an asymptomatic patient with provisional primary hyperparathyroidism.
    • Serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were monitored throughout the gestation period.

    Findings:

    • The study documented periodic changes in calcium and parathyroid hormone levels during a successful pregnancy.
    • The patient remained asymptomatic and untreated throughout the gestation.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests that asymptomatic PHPT may be compatible with successful pregnancy outcomes without specific treatment.
    • Highlights the need for considering PHPT in pregnant individuals, even with mild or absent symptoms.
    • Provides valuable data for managing similar cases in clinical practice.
