INTRODUCTION: Hypercalcemia can cause different neurological disorders, depending on the calcium level. We report an exceptional case of primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as neurological alteration and it has favourable outcome after parathyroidectomy.
CASE REPORT: A 74-year-old woman presented with progressive cognitive deterioration and impaired motor function. The complementary tests showed hypercalcemia due to a parathyroid adenoma. Parathyroidectomy was performed with symptomatic improvement.
CONCLUSION: Cognitive impairment of the elderly due to a parathyroid adenoma is underdiagnosed, behavioral changes and alterations of motor functions are attributed to age, dementia and frailty, representing a diagnostic challenge.
