Imaging of Parathyroid Glands

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2010
Preoperative imaging studies have an important role in facilitating successful localization of adenomas for surgeons. Their use has increased and parallels the recent growth of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Based on findings that scintigraphy is reported to have the highest accuracy for localization of adenomas when compared with anatomic ...

Randomized clinical trial of intraoperative parathyroid gland angiography with indocyanine green fluorescence predicting parathyroid function after thyroid surgery

British Journal of Surgery, 2018
Background Hypoparathyroidism, the most common complication after thyroid surgery, leads to hypocalcaemia and significant medical problems.

Cryosurgery of parathyroid glands

Cryobiology, 1974
Abstract The effectiveness of cryosurgery in destruction of parathyroid glands in rats was studied by comparison of 4 experimental groups: 1. cryosurgery utilizing 3 patterns of repetitive freezing, 2. excision, 3. sham operation, or 4. no treatment. Evaluation included clinical observation of respirations and voice, serum calcium concentration, and ...

The carcinoma of parathyroid gland

Indian Journal of Cancer, 2004
Parathyroid carcinoma constitutes less than 1% of primary hyperparathyroidism. The exact etiology is not known. Prior radiation to neck, chronic renal failure and genetic factors are thought to play a role. The male to female ratio is one. Parathyroid carcinomas are slow growing, have a tendency to recur locally and metastasize late. 95% of parathyroid

Lipoadenoma of the parathyroid gland

The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 1978
An unusual parathyroid adenoma containing abundant adipose tissue is described in four patients. In one patient, hyperparathyroidism was documented; in another, studies were incomplete but the adenoma was probably functioning. Prior reports of similar lesions have been called "parathyroid hamartoma or parathyroid adenoma with myxoid stroma," and some ...

Cancer of the Parathyroid Glands

Archives of Surgery, 1979
Hyperfunctioning parathyroid carcinoma is a relatively rare endocrine tumor, accounting for approximately 1% of all cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. The diagnosis is suspected when the tumor is large, parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels are high, and a palpable tumor is present in the neck. Patients who have recurrence of hyperparathyroidism several

Localization of Parathyroid Glands

Annual Review of Medicine, 1988
Parathyroid localization tests are helpful for all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism before parathyroid exploration, and they are essential for patients who have had previous parathyroid or thyroid operations. The selection of specific localization tests depends on whether the patient is undergoing an initial or a reoperative procedure, as ...

Imaging of the Parathyroid Glands

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2012
Parathyroid imaging is performed in the setting of primary hyperparathyroidism with intent to localize adenomatous parathyroid tissue before minimally invasive surgery. Available imaging options currently consist of ultrasound, radionuclide scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, and both conventional and "4 D" computed tomography.

Parathyroid Gland Metabolism

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1969
The parathyroids differ from other endocrine glands in several respects. (1) The parathyroids appear late in phylogeny, being seen first in the amphibia. (2) While most endocrine glands make more than one hormone, only one hormone and one secretory cell type are regularly found in the parathyroids.

Parathyroids: The Forgotten Glands

Neonatal Network, 2000
Symptomatic calcium disorders—most notably, hypocalcemia— are common problems in preterm and certain term infants. Many factors predispose susceptible neonates to hypo- or hypercalcemia, but in many cases, the root of the problem is altered function of the parathyroid glands.
