Pancreatitis aguda asociada con hipercalcemia

Abstract: Acute pancreatitis secondary to hypercalcaemia of primary hyperparathyroidism is rare; however, when it occurs it is associated with severe pancreatitis. It is suspected in patients with elevated serum calcium and high parathyroid hormone levels. Imaging techniques such as cervical ultrasound, computed tomography, and scintigraphy using 99mTc-Sestambi, should be performed, to confirm clinical suspicion. Surgical resection is the definitive treatment with excellent results.

“…The incidence of acute pancreatitis associated with hyperparathyroidism is reported to be <10%. [ 3 4 ] Although the actual causal relationship between hypercalcemia and pancreatitis has been a topic of debate, detection of hypercalcemia points to a differential diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism as was encountered in our patient due to a giant parathyroid adenoma.…”

“…In four previous cases, patients were diagnosed by computed tomography, cervical ultrasound, and Sestamibi parathryoid scintigraphy as having parathyroid adenomas. Three of the four patients experienced complications (two instances of pseudocysts and one of pancreatic necrosis), but none of them had recurrent bouts of pancreatitis after being receiving treatment [ 8 ].…”
