Features of the eye pathology in primary hyperparathyroidism
https://doi.org/10.14341/omet9787
Abstract
The pathology of vision occurs in various endocrine diseases, but information about the state of the eyes in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has been limited yet. Large systematic studies on this problem are absent, mainly the data of foreign literature are based on descriptions of several clinical cases that report about non-specific changes of eyes in people with significant hypercalcemia. The most common manifestations of hyperparathyroid ophthalmopathy are the cornea and conjunctiva calcification, disfunction of the eye muscles. Taking into account the prevalence of mild PHPT caused by early diagnosis and timely pathogenetic treatment of the disease, nowadays these ophthalmic disorders are rare. However, specific eye pathology in this category of patients requires detailed study and further research.
