Background. Parathyroid adenoma autoinfarction, although uncommon, is an entity that has been previously reported in the literature; however, the influence of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) monitoring on therapeutic management has not been reported. Methods. We present a case of parathyroid autoinfarction that is unique in that it applies a new technology to parathyroid surgery: intraoperative PTH monitoring. Results. Intraoperative PTH monitoring aided in the successful surgical management of this patient. Conclusions. Intraoperative PTH monitoring can serve as a therapeutic adjunct in the surgical management of parathyroid adenoma autoinfarction. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 25: 695–699, 2003
