Objective: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) occurs as a result of hyperfunctional parathyroid glands resulting in an elevation of serum calcium levels. The association between hypoparathyroidism and parkinsonism have been frequently reported in the literature, while evidence of hyperparathyroidism associated with parkinsonism is rare.
Methods: The present study reports a case of a patient that had PHPT and developed symptoms of parkinsonism.
