[Primary hyperparathyroidism with acute pancreatitis during pregnancy].

During her second pregnancy a 27-year-old woman had recurrent acute pancreatitis, in the course of which primary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed. After regression of the acute signs and under conservative treatment a parathyroid tumour was removed in the 26th week of pregnancy. Comparison of surgical and conservative treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy has indicated that the risk of complications in the neonate is much lower after surgical removal of the adenoma than with an attempt to postpone by symptomatic drug treatment the parathyroidectomy until after delivery.
