Chronic Constipation due to Hypercalcemia Associated with Parathyroid Adenoma: An Uncommon Presentation - A Brief Report
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Constipation is a very common problem and many a times its cause remains obscure. We present a case of 55-year old women who presented with chronic constipation. Physical examination was essentially normal. Investigations revealed it to be a case of chronic constipation due to hypercalcemia which was associated with parathyroid adenoma. Constipation responded to parathyroidectomy. Clinicians must be aware of the fact that hypercalcemia associated with parathyroid adenoma can be one of the causes of chronic constipation.
