Abstract

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a clinical entity characterized by clinical symptoms specific to high parathyroid hormone (PTH) and hypercalcemia. Patients are generally asymptomatic, and high calcium levels are detected by biochemical tests. We present a case of a patient with a rare vascular complication of hyperparathyroidism.
