Background. Primary hyperparathyroidism is very rarely detected during pregnancy because of the paucity of clinical symptoms and the lack of its history. Medical management of hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy can lead to severe disorders in both the mother and the fetus.
A case report. The paper gives the results of examination and treatment in a 31-year-old pregnant woman with a complicated obstetric history. Severe hypercalcemia (more than 3.5 mmol/l) resistant to medical therapy, a high parathyroid hormone level, and a tumor of the left parathyroid gland threw no doubt about the diagnosis. The patient underwent parathyroid adenomectomy with intraoperative monitoring of the time course of changes in intact parathyroid hormone, resulting in the recovery of the patient, carrying of a pregnancy, and birth of a healthy baby.
Conclusion. The timely diagnosis and surgical correction of primary hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy is accompanied by elimination of the negative implications of the disease on the course of pregnancy and childbirth.
