Abstract
- Hungry bone syndrome can occur after parathyroidectomy which is performed due to primary hyperparathyroidism. Hungry bone syndrome is characterized by showing postoperative hypocalcemia which is caused by the remineralization of various minerals, including calcium inside the bone. This syndrome requires a long term supplementation of calcium. Identifying the preoperative predictors of hypocalcemia is essential and important for postoperative management. From here on in, we report two cases of patients with parathyroid adenoma who have undergone parathyroidectomy. We would like to report and discuss the management of hungry bone syndrome experienced from the two cases that have been mentioned above. We report these two cases with a review of the literature.
