QUESTION 1
Major hyperparathyroidism was the reason for our affected person’s perforated gastric ulcer. Major hyperparathyroidism was mirrored by abnormally elevated serum calcium and parathyroid hormone ranges. An ultrasound of the neck revealed a nodule within the left parathyroid gland measuring 7 × 8 × 10 mm. A left parathyroidectomy was carried out to take away the nodule. The histological analysis of the resected nodule confirmed a parathyroid adenoma. The postoperative restoration was uneventful.
QUESTION 2
Hyperparathyroidism causes elevated ranges of calcium within the blood which results in elevated serum ranges of gastrin and acetylcholine. These modifications end in elevated gastric acid secretions and peptic ulcer illness.1
