title: [Confusion in primary hyperparathyroidism. An uncommon manifestation in the elderly. 3 cases].
abstract: Three cases of primary hyperparathyroidism disclosed by neuropsychiatric disorders in very elderly are reported. The frequency of these disorders and their almost constant association with muscle weakness are emphasized. Pre-operative imaging of the adenoma is often difficult. Surgical treatment is innocuous and considerably improves mental status.
