The purpose of this case report is to describe a case of hypercalcemic crisis and its management and to call attention to the problem of intravascular clotting in hyperparathyroidism.CASE REPORTPatient I. P. (PH 154-10-31), a 74-year-old Negro woman, was admitted to the Presbyterian Hospital for the third time on June 30, 1964, complaining of increasing weakness and lethargy beginning 6 days before admission. She had a 9-year...References1. HENRIKSSON C: Acute hyperparathyroidism and acute pancreatitis. Acta Path. Microbiol. Scand. 50: 42, 1960. CrossrefMedlineGoogle Scholar2.
