The objective of our study is to demonstrate the contribution of ultrasound and 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy in the exploration for primary hyperparathyroidism. Materials and methods: A retrospective study on 8 years between 2010 and 2017 of 26 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism labeled biologically. All our patients underwent a cervical ultrasonography and a 99mTc-MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy with a double phase acquisition of static images after administration of the radiotracer. Results: The average age of our patients was 49 years with a female predominance (sex ratio of 2,71). The sensitivity and accuracy of the MIBI scintigraphy was 90.47% and 84.6%, respectively, compared with 84.21% and 76.9% for cervical ultrasonography. The couple ultrasonography/ scintigraphy were more efficient with sensitivity and accuracy of 100%.Conclusion: 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy is a reliable means in the diagnosis of localization and multifocality of parathyroid nodules, especially if it is coupled with ultrasonography; it allows targeted surgery with less risk of morbidity.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Moroccan, Primary hyperparathyroidism, Ultrasonography, 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://journal-jmsr.net/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=9136&title=Ultrasonography Versus 99mTc-MIBI Scintigraphy in Preoperative Location in Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Moroccan Patients</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
