We report 2 cases of post-parathyroidectomy thyroiditis. Both patients had primary hyperparathyroidism and underwent parathyroidectomy for a solitary parathyroid adenoma. They subsequently developed symptoms of hyperthyroidism, including palpitations and heat intolerance. Laboratory investigations demonstrated a suppressed TSH level with elevated free T4 levels and low uptake on thyroid radioiodine scan, confirming the diagnosis of thyroiditis. The patients were managed conservatively, and their symptoms gradually resolved with normalization of thyroid hormone levels. A review of 27 cases reported to date reveals that this condition is mostly attributed to manipulation of the thyroid during parathyroid surgery. It occurs more frequently in patients who undergo 4-gland parathyroidectomy for secondary or tertiary hyperthyroidism and is self-limited within a few weeks. The case reports highlight the importance of recognizing thyroiditis as a potentially underrecognized complication of parathyroid surgery. Further research is warranted to better understand the underlying pathophysiology and to establish potential risk factors for its development post-parathyroidectomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jcemcr\/luad156","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,11]],"date-time":"2024-01-11T12:56:31Z","timestamp":1704977791000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Thyroiditis
