Imaging of abnormal parathyroid glands is a critical part of the preoperative workup. Its role is to identify the position of enlarged glands in the neck or mediastinum and to differentiate between single and multiple gland disease.[karger.com]
Intensive medical treatment was unsuccessful and he was cured after total parathyroidectomy had been performed. It seems that total parathyroidectomy is the treatment of choice in cases of neonatal PHPT.[theijcp.org]
Total parathyroidectomy is the treatment of choice, so the surgeon must identify all the parathyroid tissue, including supernumerary and ectopic glands.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

By contrast, more common heterozygous mutations are associated with a benign variant termed familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, which generally requires no specific treatment. 1 – 3 Total parathyroidectomy is the standard treatment of NSPH 1 – 14 and[pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Surgery is the treatment of choice. While waiting for surgery, bisphosphonates offer a good alternative to deal with hypercalcemia.[pediatrics.aappublications.org]
NSHPT can be fatal if partial or total parathyroidectomy is not carried out within the first several weeks of life, with a good short-term prognosis after surgery and rapid involution of bony abnormalities.[iofbonehealth.org]
Prognosis The regular monitoring required to ensure appropriate calcium levels means that the prognosis is challenging for many people. This may improve if synthetic PTH becomes widely available.[patient.info]
