Gitelman and Bartter Syndrome in a Patient With Morbid Obesity: A Case Report and Literature Review
ABSTRACT We present a case study of a 34‐year‐old man with morbid obesity and a suspected Bartter–Gitelman spectrum tubulopathy (without genetic confirmation), weighing 135 kg, and with a BMI of 42.5 kg/m2, who was referred to the metabolic and bariatric surgery department due to morbid obesity to address abnormal electrolyte levels.

ABSTRACT Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is uncommon in the pediatric population and rarely presents with overt skeletal complications such as brown tumors. This case study describes a 16‐year‐old female who initially presented with abdominal pain and was subsequently found to have severe hypercalcemia (serum calcium 16.4 mg/dL) and markedly ...

Uremic Paralytic Ileus in a 70 Years Old Female: A Diagnostic Dilemma
ABSTRACT Uremia has been associated with slowed intestinal motility, resulting in loss of peristalsis and the development of paralytic ileus. We present a case of uremia‐induced paralytic ileus in a 70‐year‐old woman. The patient was admitted with a 7‐day history of abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation.

Prophylaxis of postoperative hypocalcemia in patients with diffuse toxic goiter
In recent years, the surgical treatment of DTG includes extirpation of the thyroid gland that can lead to the development of postoperative hypocalcemia, which causes of development are under study.

Maxillary Brown Tumor Unveiling Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Rare Diagnostic Challenge
ABSTRACT Maxillary brown tumors are rare and may mimic malignant or odontogenic lesions, posing a diagnostic challenge. This case highlights that isolated facial swelling may be the first manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism and underscores the importance of biochemical screening to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery.

PRESERVING UPPER PARATHYROID GLANDS BILATERALLY TO AVOID POSTOPERATIVE HYPOCALCEMIA
Post-surgical hypoparathyroidism occurs as hypocalcemia and may be due to multiple mechanisms, including surgery or thyroid gland related. We planned a prospective study to determine the patients at risk for post-surgical hypocalcemia. In the study, there were 45 patients with multinodular goiter, euthyroid, healthy, or with mild diseases who were ...

Predictive Factors for Early Postoperative Hypocalcemia After Surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to identify patients at risk for hypocalcemia after parathyroid surgery. The charts of 99 patients who underwent parathyroid surgery over a 2-year period using a rapid intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) assay were retrospectively reviewed.

Prediction of the Outcome of Postoperative Hypocalcemia in Graves' Disease.
Symptomatic hypocalcemia sometimes follows subtotal thyroidectomy for Graves' disease. Irreversible damage to the parathyroids contributes to permanent hypocalcemia and the mechanism for a transient hypocalcemia is thought to be different from that of a permanent one.

Abstract Objective Hypoparathyroidism and postoperative hypocalcemia are rare but dreaded complications of thyroid surgery, often requiring increased follow‐up and contributing to financial and quality‐of‐life burdens. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of intraoperative fluorescent imaging of parathyroid glands (PGs) in improving PG ...
