    Summary

    This case study highlights osteoporosis as a complication of primary hyperparathyroidism. Early endocrine evaluation is crucial for diagnosing this bone condition, often presenting as osteopenia.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Bone Metabolism
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Osteoporosis is a common condition, often attributed to age.
    • Primary hyperparathyroidism is a hormonal disorder that can affect bone health.
    • Radiological evidence of osteopenia is increasingly recognized in primary hyperparathyroidism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of osteoporosis secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism.
    • To emphasize the importance of endocrine evaluation for unexplained osteoporosis.
    • To highlight the common radiological presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of a 55-year-old woman with persistent backache.
    • Radiographic review showing age-in-keeping osteoporosis.
    • Endocrine referral with baseline investigations including serum calcium levels.

    Main Results:

    • Diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism confirmed by elevated serum calcium.
    • Underlying hormonal imbalance identified as the cause of osteoporosis.
    • Radiological findings consistent with diffuse undermineralization (osteopenia).

    Conclusions:

    • Primary hyperparathyroidism can lead to secondary osteoporosis.
    • Systematic endocrine assessment is vital for diagnosing metabolic bone diseases.
    • Osteopenia is the most frequent radiological manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism.
