OBJECTIVE
Lymphocytic hypophysitis is a rare inflammatory lesion of pituitary gland. To enhance the knowledge of lymphocytic hypophysitis, herein we reported 3 cases of lymphocytic hypophysitis and reviewed the literature.
METHODS
The clinical data of 3 patients diagnosed as having lymphocytic
The patients was a 27-year-old female, gravida 0, para 0, with complaint of headache and visual disturbance for about 1 month. Ophthalmological examination showed impaired visual acuity and enlargement of Mariotte's spot on the left. A computed tomography scan disclosed an enhanced mass in the
Idiopathic granulomatous hypophysitis (IGH), a rare disease, requires differentiation from more common mass lesions of the sella such as pituitary adenoma, craniopharyngioma, Rathke's cleft cyst, or pituitary tuberculoma. IGH usually presents with an insidious onset of visual defects and headaches.
Autoimmune hypophysitis (AH) - often referred to as lymphocytic hypophysitis - is a rare disease that affects the pituitary gland and causes inflammation. The disease enlarges the pituitary gland and the clinical presentations are lack of pituitary function and headaches. AH is mostly seen in women
We report the case of a 21-year-old pregnant women (36 WA) presenting intensive headaches and visual disturbances. Those sellar compression symptoms have made us suppose the diagnosis of autoimmune hypophysitis. MRI has confirmed the typical aspect of symmetric enlargement of the pituitary gland
We report the first documented example (case 1) of lymphocytic adenohypophysitis (LAH) associated with selective destruction of prolactin cells. The morphologic data are compared to those obtained in another, more typical case (case 2). Case 1 was a 35-year-old woman with remote history of pregnancy
Autoimmune hypophysitis (AH) is an inflammatory disease that can present either as empty sella or as pituitary mass. A 16-years-old girl was admitted at our Unit for primary amenorrhea. A pituitary MRI performed 2 years before for severe headache demonstrated a large sellar and suprasellar lesion.
Idiopathic granulomatous hypophysitis (IGH) is a rare inflammatory disease of the pituitary that commonly presents with enlargement of the pituitary gland. Clinically and radiologically, IGH is a rare sellar entity easily to be misdiagnosed as a pituitary adenoma. Through such a case, we aim to
Lymphocytic hypophysitis is an unusual inflammatory lesion that is caused by autoimmune destruction of the pituitary gland. We report a case of 42-year-old man who presented with a 6-month history of severe headache, blurred vision in the right eye, hearing loss, polyuria, polydipsia, and impotence.
An aggressive case of lymphocytic hypophysitis is described which was successfully treated with azathioprine after failure of corticosteroids. The patient, aged 53, had frontal headache, diplopia, and diabetes insipidus. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an intrasellar and suprasellar
Lymphocytic hypophysitis is a rare inflammatory disorder which is caused by autoimmune destruction of the pituitary gland. Almost all reported cases have been in women and the disease is often associated with pregnancy. We describe here the first male case of lymphocytic hypophysitis in Korea. The
OBJECTIVE
Bilateral carotid artery occlusion associated with lymphocytic hypophysitis is exceedingly rare. We describe this association and review the literature.
METHODS
The authors describe a 38-year-old woman with a history of severe headaches. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed an
A 37-year-old pregnant woman developed continuous headache in the 10th week of pregnancy, followed by bilateral visual field defect and general malaise in the 24th week. The brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a pituitary mass. In laboratory examination, plasma concentration of free thyroxine,
To improve the differential diagnosis of sellar region mass, 4 cases with sellar mass and misdiagnosed as lymphocytic hypophysitis (LYH) were reviewed retrospectively.The 4 patients (2 male and 2 female) aged 20-60 years old were all presented with symptoms of headache, polydipsia and
