[Parathyroid gland carcinoma with postoperative encephalopathy].
We present a 78-year-old patient who suffered from symptomatic transitory psychotic syndrome after laparotomy. Persisting somnolence appeared with cardiopulmonary decompensation and gastrointestinal atony. Due to prolonged hypercalcemia primary hyperparathyreoidism was diagnosed. Resection of a large carcinoma of the parathyroids led to continuous clinical improvement.
