Abstract

We recently experienced a patient under prolonged dialysis in whom remarkable distension of the upper and lower jaws and palate occurred, causing dyslalia, dysphagia and change in complexion. Swelling of the parathyroid was observed at diagnostic imaging and diagnosed as renal osteodystrophy due to hyperparathyroidism, for which a surgical treatment was given and some tolerable results were obtained. However, it was considered, as an issue for the future, that none of the therapies now available constitutes a radical treatment without relying on parathyroidectomy and renal transplantation.
