abstract: 11 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism were seen during 1975-1988. Follow up has varied from 1-10 years. Renal disease in the form of renal calculi and nephro-calcinosis was observed in nine cases (81.8%). Two presented in chronic renal failure and required dialysis. Bone disease was found radiologically in six patients (54.5%); two had bone cysts in multiple bones while all six had subperiosteal bone erosion. Hypertension was found in three patients (27.3%). Proximal myopathy was observed in two cases (18.1%). One patient each presented with hypercalcaemic crisis, chondrocalcinosis and acute pancreatitis. The calcification of blood vessels and cornea was seen in two cases.
