Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in pregnancy poses risks to mother and fetus. Surgical treatment (parathyroidectomy) is recommended, ideally in the second trimester, for better outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Obstetrics
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) during pregnancy presents diagnostic challenges due to physiological changes like hypoalbuminemia.
  • Untreated HPT in pregnancy is linked to adverse fetal and maternal outcomes, including fetal loss and neonatal hypocalcemia.

Observation:

  • A 36-year-old pregnant woman presented with primary HPT, managed initially with medical therapy until delivery.
  • Post-partum, the patient successfully underwent parathyroidectomy.

Findings:

  • Maternal hypercalcemia can suppress fetal parathyroid hormone secretion, leading to neonatal hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia.
  • Nonspecific symptoms and pregnancy-related hypoalbuminemia can mask hypercalcemia, complicating HPT diagnosis during pregnancy.

Implications:

  • Parathyroidectomy is the recommended treatment for primary HPT in pregnancy, with the second trimester being the preferred surgical window.
  • Prompt surgical intervention improves maternal and fetal outcomes compared to transient and often ineffective medical management.
