Abstract A case of primary hyperparathyroidism associated with osteitis fibrosa cystica presenting as paraplegia is described herein. The symptom complex of normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism with osteitis fibrosa cystica is a distinctly rare entity and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of the normocalcemic variant of primary hyperparathyroidism presenting with paraplegia as a complication.
