Core Tip Consider primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) as a potential cause when investigating cases of acute pancreatitis, especially in pediatric patients, even if blood parathyroid hormone levels initially appear normal. For an accurate diagnosis, PHPT may need a comprehensive investigation, including imaging techniques such as neck ultrasonography and scintigraphy. PHPT may sometimes only present as pancreatitis. To prevent recurrent episodes of pancreatitis and the difficulties that go along with it, early detection and treatment of PHPT are essential.
