Abstract
Parathyroid adenomas are usually an incidental finding and present more commonly in women. The parathyroid gland releases parathyroid hormone(PTH), which is essential to maintain calcium homeostasis. Hence, the removal of parathyroid glands will result in hypocalcemia and if not treated could be life threatening. We present the case of a young female patient who presented with vague complaints and was evaluated and diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism. She was optimized and taken for surgical removal of parathyroid glands. The anesthetic considerations in the perioperative period and an intraoperative event during positioning are mentioned herewith.
