Thoracoscopic removal of a maternal mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenoma causing neonatal hypocalcemia: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most parathyroid glands in hyperparathyroidism can be resected through a cervical approach. In approximately 2% of cases, the ectopic gland is in the mediastinum in a location that requires a thoracic approach. Advancement in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical (VATS) techniques has decreased the need for sternotomy to successfully remove these ectopic glands. We describe a case involving a 29-year-old woman with hyperparathyroidism resulting from an ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenoma that caused neonatal hypocalcemia, which was removed through VATS.

Cure of hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy by sternotomy and removal of a mediastinal parathyroid adenoma.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is rarely reported during pregnancy but can cause significant maternal and neonatal morbidity. We report a case of hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy requiring a median sternotomy for resection of a mediastinal parathyroid adenoma. Surgery resulted in normalisation of serum calcium, resolution of symptoms, and prevented neonatal hypocalcaemia.
متن کاملThoracoscopic Removal of Ectopic Mediastinal Parathyroid Adenoma
Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenomas or hyperplasias account for up to 25% of primary hyperparathyroidism cases. Most abnormal parathyroid glands are found in the superior mediastinum within the thymus and can be removed through a cervical incision; however, a few of these glands are not accessible using standard cervical surgical approaches. Surgical resection has traditionally been perfor...

The most common manifestation of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is hyperparathyroidism. Treatment of hyperparathyroidism in MEN patients is surgical removal of the parathyroid glands, however ectopic parathyroid gland is challenging for treatment. A 51-year-old female, the eldest of 3 MEN1 sisters, had hyperparathyroidism with ectopic parathyroid adenoma in the mediastinal para-aort...
متن کاملA case report of mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenoma presented as parathyroid crisis localized by SPECT/CT
INTRODUCTION Parathyroid crisis due to ectopic parathyroid adenomas can pose diagnostic and management challenges, since it is quite rare in clinical practice. CLINICAL FINDINGS/PATIENT CONCERNS A 67-year-old Chinese male presented as a parathyroid crisis due to an ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenoma with his serum calcium and PTH markedly increased in short time. An ultrasonography and c...
متن کاملAtypical non-[99mTc]Tc-MIBI avid parathyroid adenoma with a sternal brown tumor, mimicking ectopic parathyroid adenoma in planar and SPECT images: Importance of SPECT/CT acquisition
Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is defined by the excess level of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Parathyroid adenoma is responsible for about 80% of all pHPT. Parathyroid adenoma with cystic feature and atypical pathology is recognized as a rare entity. Technetium-99m methoxy isobutyl isonitrile ([99mTc]Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy has favorable detection rate for ectopic gland as well as th...
