Thorough neurocognitive evaluation was conducted before and 1- &amp;amp; 6-months following parathyroidectomy: Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCF), Trail Making Test A, Trail Making Test B, Addenbrooke\u2019s Cognitive Examination-III (ACE), Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>18 consecutive patients underwent successful parathyroidectomy. Various neurocognitive functions improved significantly after successful parathyroidectomy: long term auditory memory (RAVLT, p=0.008), short- and long-term visual memory (ROCF, p=0.006 and p=0.002 respectively), visual attention and complex concentration skills (trail making A, p&amp;lt;0.001) and executive abilities (trail making B, p=0.005). No change was identified in frontal-lobe abilities. Depression symptoms were absent or minimal prior to surgery and no significant change was observed after surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>PHPT is associated with significant various neurocognitive dysfunctions when mindfully evaluated before surgery. Successful parathyroidectomy results in several neurocognitive aspect improvements.
