201Tl-chloride scintigraphy was performed in 10 patients with hyperparathyroidism to assess the localization of abnormal parathyroid glands. This approach proved to be useful in 8 of 10 patients. In particular, an intramediastinal ectopic gland was clearly demonstrated in one patient. Several disadvantages were noted, however, 201Tl-chloride scintigraphy could be the first choice for preoperative localization of abnormal parathyroid glands. If a negative image is obtained, further examinations such as arteriography or parathyroid hormone assay be selective venous blood sampling should be done.

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.
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010280 Parathyroid Glands Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body. Gland, Parathyroid,Glands, Parathyroid,Parathyroid Gland

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
