- Abstract
This article discusses the case of a 42-year-old man with persistent hyperparathyroidism due to chronic kidney disease. The patient underwent surgery to remove an ectopic parathyroid gland located within the carotid sheath. The article also presents images of different types of ectopic parathyroid glands and highlights the importance of accurate preoperative localization using 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT dual-phase imaging. The study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in China.
