Abstract
• A history of head and neck irradiation in childhood or adolescence was found in 22 of 130 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism compared with only 12 of 400 control patients, a significant difference (P <.025). Among 200 patients with a known history of childhood irradiation, biochemical or surgical evidence of hyperparathyroidism was found in ten, a prevalence of 5%. This is at least 30 times the prevalence of hyperparathyroidism in the general population (P <.025). The data indicate that head and neck irradiation should be regarded as an important risk factor in the subsequent development of hyperparathyroidism.
