  • Title: Hyperparathyroidism associated with parkinsonism.
    Author: Hirooka Y, Yuasa K, Hibi K, Ishikawa A, Sobue G, Naruse T, Mitsuma T.
    Journal: Intern Med; 1992 Jul; 31(7):904-7. PubMed ID: 1450500.
    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old woman with hyperparathyroidism associated with parkinsonism is reported. Her primary initial symptom was parkinsonism, but it was levodopa-resistant. Chemical and hormonal findings revealed that she had hyperparathyroidism. The symptoms were relieved after the surgical removal of a parathyroid adenoma. Although this type of case has been reported only rarely, it suggests that hypercalcemia might be an aggravating factor in levodopa-resistant parkinsonism.
