Giant Parathyroid Adenoma Associated With Aberrant Subclavian Artery and Nonrecurrent Laryngeal Nerve
Keyword(s):
Parathyroid adenomas are responsible for 80% to 85% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. Giant parathyroid adenomas are a rare type of parathyroid adenoma defined as weighing >3.5 grams. Although giant parathyroid adenomas are rare entities whose clinical presentation may not be atypical, their surgical management can be challenging, especially in the setting of anatomical variants. We present here a case of a 29-year-old female with a 37-gram giant adenoma which was diagnosed after presentation with recurrent severe headaches. The presentation was also unique in that it was associated with a right aberrant subclavian artery and nonrecurrent laryngeal nerve.
