Transient Thyrotoxicosis Following Minimally Invasive Radio-Guided Parathyroidectomy

Objective: We report a case of thyrotoxicosis following minimally invasive parathyroidectomy.Methods: Case report with literature review.Results: A 70-year-old woman with primary hyperparathyroidism developed thyrotoxicosis 2 weeks following minimally invasive radio-guided parathyroidectomy. A diagnosis of postparathyroidectomy transient thyrotoxicosis (PTT) was made after excluding other causes of thyrotoxicosis. The patient reverted back to a euthyroid state in 4 weeks with conservative management.Conclusion: PTT should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients developing features of thyrotoxicosis following parathyroidectomy.
