Abstract

We report a case of a 46 yr old lady presenting with proximal muscle weakness and fractures on trivial trauma secondary to a parathyroid adenoma followed by acute renal failure. She was managed conservatively and underwent surgery for parathyroid adenoma. Post operatively, she later developed Hungry Bone Syndrome for which she was given Calcium along with Rocaltrol. She later developed a Splenic Abscess that was drained leading to complete recovery. This is a rare case report of Splenic abscess in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism.
