... bias. Conclusions: The current systematic review finds that the endocrine effect of pituitary surgery is unclear both in terms of the chance of recovery and in terms of the risk of pituitary failure and hypopituitarism should be considered only a relative indication for surgery. However, the range...

Four pregnancies in 3 CP patients with hypopituitarism were achieved under assisted reproductive techniques (ART...

... and histopathological criteria, leading to variable degrees of hypopituitarism and/or compressive symptoms to nearby structures. There has recently been an increase in the number of hypophysitis cases, raising the interest on the spectrum of its pathogenesis, clinical, biochemical/endocrinological, and imaging features...

... of pituitary metastasis. Pituitary metastasis can involve both the anterior and posterior lobes, but the neuro-hypophysis is mainly involved. Clinical manifestations include diabetes insipidus, hypopituitarism, headache, visual disturbances, ophthalmoplegia, and also compression of adjacent structures...

... domains and determines their future life. Understanding that this may occur is important, and health care providers should offer information to prepare the patient for this difficult journey, especially in the case of acromegaly, Cushing disease, or hypopituitarism. In order to maintain a good quality...

... and vasopressin are anabolic and catabolic, respectively, to the skeleton. Patients with hypopituitarism may be at risk for oxytocin deficiency. Whether oxytocin and/or vasopressin contribute to impaired bone homeostasis in hypopituitarism is unknown. Objectives: To determine the relationship between plasma...

... stalk Diabetes insipidus Hypopituitarism Diagnostic approach Lesions of the pituitary stalk (PS) are relatively rare but often represent a diagnostic challenge for even experienced clinicians. Diabetes insipidus (DI), either isolated or associated with anterior pituitary deficiency, raises...

... hypophysitis consequent to an intracranial germinomas [ 8, 9, 11, 13 ]. On the contrary, the prevalence of hypophysitis in adults is about 0.24–0.88% [ 31 ]. When 170 consecutive adult patients of hypopituitarism and/or central DI were screened for the probable etiology, 23 (13.5%) were found to have primary...

... aimed to study the effects of 4 years of GHRT on body composition in a large cohort of patients with hypopituitarism compared to a reference population matched by age and sex. Methods: A total of 964 GH-deficient adults from KIMS (Pfizer International Metabolic Database) with adult-onset hypopituitarism...

... to adenohypophysitis and infundibuloneurohypophysitis. Conclusion: Infundibuloneurohypophysitis should be taken into account in the etiological diagnosis of hypopituitarism, particularly if it is associated with diabetes insipidus and in cases of growth hormone deficit, secondary hypogonadism, or multiple hormone...

... on growth hormone hypersecretion and summarize the data around its potential deleterious effects, including hypopituitarism, cranial nerve damage, and the development of radiation-related intracerebral tumors. We also give practical recommendations to guide its future use in patients with acromegaly...

... of tumor localization within the sellar region. Conclusions: The presence of isolated hypoadrenalism suggests that the order of appearance of hypopituitarism does not always follow the one expected. Given the relatively high prevalence of isolated hypoadrenalism even in microadenomas, we suggest a full...

... human disease due to insufficient (hypopituitarism) or excess (pituitary tumor) cell numbers. The pituitary gland produces six different hormones from five secretory cell lineages: GH (produced by somatotrophs), PRL (lactotrophs), TSH (thyrotrophs), ACTH (corticotrophs), FSH and LH (gonadotrophs...

The mechanisms involved in PSD pathogenesis and the development of hypopituitarism are not clearly understood. There is a possible relationship...
