  • Title: [Post-parathyroidectomy pseudogout in primary hyperparathyroidism].
    Author: Gantes Mora MA, Rodríguez Lozano B, Trujillo Martín E, Bustabad Reyes S, González García T.
    Journal: An Med Interna; 1998 Jul; 15(7):376-8. PubMed ID: 9710990.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of pseudogout after parathyroidectomy by primary hyperparathyroidism. The pseudogout in each instance developed within 48 hours after parathyroid adenoma resection. Calcium supplement therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and colchicine (1 mg/day) suppressed the acute attack. The chondrocalcinosis is often asymptomatic or undiagnosed, for that, preoperative radiological studies of the knees, wrists and pelvis are recommended to screen for chondrocalcinosis. We advocate also, therapy with colchicine (1 mg/day, oral) in the prophylaxis of postoperative pseudogout.
