title: Transient thyrotoxicosis following minimally invasive radio-guided parathyroidectomy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report a case of thyrotoxicosis following minimally invasive parathyroidectomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report with literature review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 70-year-old woman with primary hyperparathyroidism developed thyrotoxicosis 2 weeks following minimally invasive radio-guided parathyroidectomy. A diagnosis of postparathyroidectomy transient thyrotoxicosis (PTT) was made after excluding other causes of thyrotoxicosis. The patient reverted back to a euthyroid state in 4 weeks with conservative management.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  PTT should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients developing features of thyrotoxicosis following parathyroidectomy.
