Abstract

Patients with hypecalcemic crisis usually stabilize with medical treatment and rarely require urgent surgical treatment. Woman with a nonspecific clinic of abdominal pain, diagnosed late of hypercalcemic crisis due to primary hyperparathyroidism. Medical treatment and peritoneal dialysis were not effective, requiring urgent parathyroidectomy with determination of intraoperative parathormone. The preoperative location of the adenoma was concordant for scintigraphy and ultrasound. Hypercalcemic crisis due to primary hyperparathyroidism without response to medical treatment requires urgent parathyroidectomy. Preoperative adenoma location and intraoperative parathormone are essential for curative surgical treatment.
