OBJECTIVE
To describe successful oral bromocriptine therapy for hyperprolactinemia accompanied by seizure disorder and encephalomalacia identified during infertility evaluation.
METHODS
A 32 year-old male with an unspecified seizure disorder was referred for infertility consultation. The initial
A 7-year-8-month-old boy with cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome caused by the D638E mutation of the B-Raf proto-oncogene (BRAF) presented with new-onset seizures. He was incidentally found to have advanced Tanner staging on physical examination. Hormonal testing revealed pubertal levels of gonadotropins
Twenty consecutive men with partial seizures of temporal lobe origin were evaluated for sexual or reproductive dysfunction. Eleven (55%) had diminished sexual interest or reduced potency. Nine of them had reproductive endocrine disorders, with features of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in five,
Prolactin levels were measured immediately after the seizure in some, and 15 to 20 minutes later in all of 67 children aged between 6 months and 17 years. Values were determined after grand mal, complex partial and petit mal seizures and psychogen seizures. A more than 2 to 3 fold prolactin increase
Transient hyperprolactinaemia has been reported to follow unprovoked seizures, a finding proposed to be useful in the differential diagnosis of epilepsy. There is also evidence that patients with unprovoked seizures may have high baseline prolactin levels, which could be of value in detecting those
This study aimed to evaluate the aetiologies of hyperprolactinaemia in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).This retrospective study used laboratory databases to identify all patients who underwent evaluation for prolactin at Tawam Hospital, Al Ain, UAE, between Kratom or Mitragna speciosa is a tropical tree that is indigenous to Southeast Asia, where it has been used for various medicinal reasons. In the West, it is used in the self-treatment of opioid withdrawal, pain, and a variety of mood and anxiety states. Two active ingredients in kratom are
A 6-year old girl was examined having two years previously presented a transient Cushing's syndrome, followed by recurrent hyponatremia, attributed to inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH). The brain MRI showed no abnormalities on repeated examinations, except for a suggestion of empty sella syndrome.
We examined the postictal hyperprolactinemia after seizures classified by EEG and video telemetry. Prolactin did rise after complex partial seizures that involved motor behaviors and was not further increased by secondary generalization. Nontemporal partial seizures or pseudoseizures did not
Previous studies have demonstrated hyperprolactinemia following generalized tonic-clonic seizures and after electroconvulsive therapy. We found transient hyperprolactinemia following complex partial seizures but little change in serum gonadotropins, thyroid-stimulating hormone, growth hormone, or
Serum prolactin (HPR) levels are influenced by waking and sleep states, as reflected by surges in serum concentrations during daytime naps and nocturnal sleep. Other physiological causes of hyperprolactinemia include sexual activity, pregnancy, and lactation. Drugs may stimulate or inhibit HPR
An 11-year-old girl presented with excessive growth, headache, left visual loss and seizures. Her growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) levels were high and magnetic resonance imaging findings showed an invasive macroadenoma. Gross total tumor removal was performed and then radiotherapy and
The effects of carbamazepine (CBZ) on spontaneous secretion of prolactin (PRL) and after stimulation with thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) were evaluated. Volunteer subjects after acute CBZ administration, and epileptic subjects with complex partial seizures chronically treated with CBZ, were
An aim of the article was to study reproductive health of 218 women with epilepsy who were long-term treated with antiepileptic drugs (AED). A comparison group included 47 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with epilepsy were stratified into 2 groups: group 1 included 107 women of
BACKGROUND
Secondary endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for the management of shunt failure may be efficacious, though it may be followed by more frequent complications (including endocrinological impairment, e.g., amenorrhea) compared to primary ETV. These complications are usually
