[Vertebral collapse revealing primary hyperparathyroidism in a 14-year-old girl]

Abstract

Primary hyperparathyroidism, widely prevalent in women after menopause, remains rare in children and adolescents. Sporadic forms are the most frequent. Clinical manifestations are general, renal, gastrointestinal, cardiac, or bony. Diagnosis is biological and radiological. The imaging modalities allow assessment of the disease impact and identification of the parathyroid adenoma.
