title: [Primary hyperparathyroidism and pregnancy. Study of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Primary hyperparathyroidism is rarely diagnosed during pregnancy. The authors report a case occurring in a patient of 32 years of age, which was diagnosed in the fourth month of pregnancy because of the appearance of acute hypercalcemia. The outcome was good after a parathyroid adenoma had been removed. There was no hypocalcemia after the operation in the mother and when the child was born at term its calcium levels were normal. A review of the literature shows how the diagnosis can be made of primary hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy and how the discovery of the condition has evolved and that surgery should be carried out in the second trimester of the pregnancy to lessen the maternal and fetal morbidity.
