ABSTRACT

Introduction: The main role of the radiological study of parathyroid glands is the evaluation of primary hyperparathyroidism. Up to 85%, the cause is due to solitary adenoma. Less frequent causes are hyperplasia, carcinoma and parathyroid cyst. The ultrasound is the starting diagnosis method for evaluating the hyperparathyroidism causes. However, there are conditions in which it is not possible to have an adequate evaluation since the great anatomical variability that may present parathyroidism. There are other diagnosis methods that are able to detect parathyroid tissue in ectopic places.
Materials and methods: According to that described by world-level literature, we reviewed the ultrasound characteristics of the different causes for primary hyperparathyroidism, and the ultrasound role in surgery, which is minimally invasive of parathyroid adenoma.
Conclusion: The ultrasound is a very useful imaging method which is very useful for the starting evaluation of primary hyperparathyroidism. With the minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of parathyroid adenoma treatment, the ultrasound has been an extraordinary useful tool for planning surgery.
