| Core Tip |
Pregnant women undergoing general anesthesia for non-obstetric surgery have risks of maternal hazards. In addition, the surgery might affect the long-term development of the fetus in early pregnancy and cause premature birth in late pregnancy. Pregnant patient with severe primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), such as our case, should have their calcium concentration lowered before surgery. Surgical removal of the lesion in mid-pregnancy is the treatment-of-choice in PHPT. However, in case of persisting hypercalcemia despite of conservative treatment, superficial cervical plexus block can be an anesthetic option for parathyroidectomy during the first trimester of pregnancy. |
