Abstract
Hungry bone syndrome (HBS), i.e., persistent hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia as a result of extensive remineralization, is rarely encountered in children after parathyroid surgery. Herein, we report a 12-year-old girl who was diagnosed to have an ectopic parathyroid adenoma, and HBS was observed in the postsurgical follow-up. The diagnosis and the risk factors are discussed in the light of the literature.Entities:
