A388 One Anastamosis Gastric Bypass and Total Thyroidectomy - Not a good match?
We describe an interesting case of a 25 year-old female who presents as a specialist tertiary referral with severe refractory secondary hypocalcaemia after total thyroidectomy for a benign goitre. She had also undergone a one anastomosis gastric bypass. Symptoms include tetanic seizures, vertebral compression fracture, dental issues and iron deficiency anaemia. There was excess weight loss from BMI 54.2 to 24 (kg/m2). She underwent full investigations including a barium swallow and follow through, CT abdomen and pelvis, an upper GI endoscopy and a NM parathyroid scan.
