Abstract

Hypercalcemia in pregnancy is an uncommon event that can cause major maternal morbidity and/or fetal or neonatal morbidity and mortality. Management is a challenge for the clinicians, especially as regards to investigations in pregnancy, surgery, and the use of cinacalcet and bisphosphonates. We present three case reports and discuss management.

Keywords: Bisphosphonates; cinacalcet; fibroma; hypercalcemia; hyperparathyroidism; pregnancy.
