RESUMO
We report an interesting case of severe neonatal hyperparathyroidism (SNHP) treated by sub-total parathyroidectomy, as her fourth parathyroid gland could not be identified. The clinical course changed over time to a more benign course resembling familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia. This indicates that the natural course of SNHP is probably gradual spontaneous improvement, if patient survives the first few months of life.
