title: Preoperative diagnostics and surgical management of tertiary hyperparathyroidism after chronic renal failure in a child.
abstract: Although hyperparathyroidism if a rare condition in young children, the pediatric surgeon is asked occasionally to participate in the management of a child with parathyroid disease. In this paper we report on a girl with global glomerulosclerosis, an unsuccessful renal transplantation and a long-term peritoneal dialysis, who developed an autonomous hyperparathyroidism. Emphasis is placed on the preoperative diagnosis and surgical management in children.
