[Neurologic and psychiatric manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism. Study of 5 cases].
Among 8 of the 20 records of primary hyperparathyroidism examined in search of neurological and/or psychiatric manifestations, the authors extracted 5 clinical cases reported here. These 5 cases were selected because these manifestations had been well evaluated before and after curative surgery of the disease. Among the manifestations reported, there was one corpus striatum syndrome, one cervical myelopathy and three cases of "chronic" psychiatric disorders of several years duration completely cured after parathyroidectomy. The authors underline that such psychiatric disorders should be taken into account in the discussion of treatment.
