Primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as a proximal myopathy. 1977

R D Rollinson, and B S Gilligan

A 46-year-old female presented with a three year history of progressive weakness. Asymptomatic apart from proximal myopathy, multi channel screening and radiological features indicated primary hyperparathyroidism with severe metabolic bone disease. Removal of a parathyroid adenoma led to improvement of muscle strength and regression of bony and metabolic changes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006961 Hyperparathyroidism A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.
