Emergency surgery in a hyperparathyroid patient: is spinal anesthesia safe?

Hyperparathyroidism can have a profound influence on human physiological mechanism and may affect the management of anesthesia. We present a case of successful management of a 65 years old female patient with parathyoid adenoma who underwent emergency intramedullary nailing in right femur for pathological fracture under low dose unilateral spinal anesthesia. An uneventful course of anesthesia in the presented case was related to the thorough systemic evaluation and careful anesthetic strategy.
