Primary hyperparathyroidism in a child: The musculoskeletal manifestations of a late presenting rare endocrinopathy

This study describes the orthopedic manifestations of PHPT in a child. PHPT in this child exhibited a late presentation with significant clinical morbidity and extensive radiographic manifestations. The characteristic radiographic pattern of PHPT in childhood is an important contributor to the diagnosis. The radioclinical and biochemical correlations augment diagnostic accuracy and delineate extent of skeletal pathology.
