Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of US, ECT, CT and MRI in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Methods Data of 34 PHPT patients with diagnosis confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively reviewed from January 1, 1990, through March 31, 2004. Results The preoperative diagnosis in 22 out of 25 cases (88%) undergoing preoperative ultrasonography of the neck with a positive result was verified by intraoperative findings. For 99m Tc-MIBI, CT and MRI, the positive results were 95%, 69% and 100% respectively. Conclusion Ultrasonography and 99m Tc-MIBI should be considered as the first choice for preoperative loci localization in patients with PHPT. Ultrasonography and 99m Tc-MIBI in combination is more sensitive and accurate for the localization of PHPT.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Methods Clinical data of 35 cases of PHPT were retrospectively analyzed. Results 23 out of 26 cases (88.5%) undergoing preoperative ultrasonography with a positive result were verified by intraoperative (findings). For ECT, the positive rate was 21 out of 23 cases (95.5%). Unilateral neck explorations (UNE) was performed in 27 cases of parathyroidoma. Two cases of parathyroid hyperplasia were treated by UNE and the other two cases by bilateral neck exploration (BNE). The procedure for 3 cases of parathyroid carcinoma was the same as that for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Unilateral resection of thyroid and parathyroid was done in a case of parathyroidoma with malignant change. Emergency excision of parathyroidoma, after (emergency) medical management, was performed in a patient with parathyroid storm, and the symptoms (subsided) postoperatively. All cases developed hypocalcemia in various degrees after surgery, but the symptoms were relieved with the use of calcium gluconate. Conclusions PHPT could be diagnosed according to (co-elevated) calcemia and PTH. Ultrasonography and ECT should be considered as the methods of first choice for preoperative localization. UNE of parathyroidoma could be feasible if accurate image localizations are (available). Radionuclear guided parathyroid resection could be performed in the patients with ectopic parathyroid disease or lesions without accurate localization. Aggressive surgical exploration after medical control of (symptoms) is the first choice of treatment when parathyroid storm is diagnosed.
