Intrauterine hyperparathyroidism. Postmortem findings in two cases

C Stuart, T Aceto, J P Kuhn

    American Journal of Diseases of Children (1960)
    |January 1, 1979

    Summary

    Neonatal intrauterine hyperparathyroidism, caused by maternal hypoparathyroidism, presents with bone and parathyroid issues. Findings in affected twins suggest potential for self-limited improvement over time.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Endocrinology
    • Histopathology
    • Neonatal Medicine

    Background:

    • Intrauterine hyperparathyroidism (IHP) is a transient condition in neonates born to mothers with hypoparathyroidism.
    • Maternal hypoparathyroidism can lead to fetal parathyroid gland hyperplasia and subsequent neonatal hypercalcemia.

    Observation:

    • This report details the bone and parathyroid histology in twin infants diagnosed with IHP.
    • One twin expired at birth, exhibiting skeletal osteopenia and parathyroid hyperplasia.
    • The second twin, who survived for 3 months, showed histological evidence of improvement in bone and parathyroid abnormalities.

    Findings:

    • Skeletal tissues displayed osteopenia, increased bone turnover, and defective mineralization.
    • Parathyroid glands exhibited hyperplasia of the water-clear cell type.

  • Histologic findings in the twin who died at birth were similar to infantile primary hyperparathyroidism.

    • Implications:

    • The findings suggest that intrauterine hyperparathyroidism may be a self-limited condition with potential for resolution.
    • Histological improvement over time in the surviving twin indicates a favorable prognosis with appropriate management.
    • This case highlights the importance of understanding the natural history and histological progression of IHP.
