Hyperparathyroidism in the elderly.

Primary hyperparathyroidism seems to be increasing in incidence in elderly patients. Their symptoms are somewhat different from those encountered in younger patients, the most striking difference being the increase in the number of patients with mental changes. Twenty-nine patients, 23 women and 6 men, were treated at two community hospitals. Surgery was successful in all instances with no postoperative mortality and a low rate of complications. When properly evaluated, elderly patients tolerate parathyroid exploration very satisfactorily.

Idiopathic rupture of the iliac vein.

Idiopathic rupture of large veins is very rare. There has been one report in the Portugese literature of such an instance involving the iliac vein. Our patient was an elderly woman in whom evidence of intra-abdominal hemorrhage developed. There was no clinical evidence of trauma. At laparotomy a large retroperitoneal hematoma secondary to an 8-mm tear in the left common iliac vein was found. The tear occurred adjacent to where the right common iliac artery passes over the vein. Repair was followed by uneventful recovery. Results of the pathological examination showed nonspecific information.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm and horseshoe kidney in a 91-year-old man.

A 91-year-old man had a symptomatic, enlarging abdominal aortic aneurysm in association with horseshoe kidney. He underwent successful surgical resection. Difficulties, secondary to the inter-relationship of the renal artery supply and the aneurysm, are discussed. This patient is 15 years older than the previously oldest reported patient with these two associated anomalies.

Primary hyperparathyroidism in children.

Three cases of primary hyperparathyroidism in children are presented and the literature reviewed. Symptoms of nausea, weight loss, and personality changes are more common in children than in adults with this disease. Children may have the diagnosis delayed because of failure to consider hyperparathyroidism. Surgery has been demonstrated to be most effective in treating this condition.
