Overview

Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPPT) is a generalized disorder of calcium-phosphate metabolism resulting from long-term secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The most common cause of PTH overproduction is an adenoma of one or more parathyroid glands. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis accounts for about 1–2% of cerebral events and its consequence can be focal ischemia with intracerebral hemorrhage. In this article, we describe a unique case report of a patient who was urgently admitted for the progression of a sudden speech disorder and progressive impairment of consciousness on the basis of thrombosis in the cerebral sinuses and intracerebral hemorrhage. Secondary findings at the initial diagnostic process were hypophosphatemia and hypercalcemia with parathyroid hormone elevation.

Keywords:

hyperparathyroidism – hypercalcemia – cerebral venous sinus thrombosis
