Patients with hyperthyroidism can develop left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure, but severe pulmonary hypertension association with hyperthyroidism is rarely seen. Herein, we describe the case of a 27-year-old female who presented with abdominal distension accompanied by pulmonary arterial hypertension and Graves' disease. Her pulmonary arterial hypertension was improved by treating the hyperthyroidism and pulmonary artery hypertension. Additionally, the patient's symptoms of right-side heart failure improved after pulmonary arterial pressure was reduced. Hyperthyroidism should be regarded as a reversible cause of associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Abstract PDF

Thanks to advances in assay techniques and routine measurements in serum chemical analysis, primary hyperparathyroidism has become far more frequently detected, and the number of asymptomatic patients has substantially increased. In the majority of patients (85%), a solitary adenoma is the underlying cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for most cases of primary hyperparathyroidism; this procedure has a relatively high success rate. In the past decade, improvements in preoperative imaging have played a major role in a targeted operative approach, which allows for minimally invasive surgery to be performed. The success of parathyroid surgery depends on the accurate preoperative localization of parathyroid adenoma. In this study, we report the case of a 54 year-old woman with primary hyperparathyroidism who presented with left buttock and leg pain. For localization of the parathyroid lesion, an ultrasonography and a 99mTc-sestamibi scan were initially performed, but these attempts failed to localize the lesion. We then carried out contrast-enhanced CT; thereafter, a single parathyroid adenoma was detected. Therefore, in patients with negative results on both ultrasonography and 99mTc-sestamibi scan, contrast-enhanced CT may prove helpful for preoperative parathyroid localization.
