Abstract
- One of the common complications of parathyroid surgery is the development of postoperative hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia may result from the redistribution of serum calcium as well as the insufficient supply of parathyroid hormone from the parathyroid tissues remaining after the parathyroidectomy. Hungry bone syndrome is postoperative hypocalcemia that takes place due to rapid redistribution of serum calcium to the bone and requires a long-term medical management. We have experienced a 34-year-old man who presented brown tumor in the left humerus and developed hungry bone syndrome after resection of a parathyroid gland adenoma. We report this case with a review of the literature.
