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
An 87-year-old man was admitted with fatigue, anorexia, vomiting, urinary incontinence, and a depressive state. His consciousness was evaluated as a 13 on the Glasgow Coma Scale (E4V3M6), and he had a body temperature of 36.4°C, a blood pressure of 91/60 mmHg, and a heart rate of 88 beats/min.
Hypophysitis is a rare inflammatory disorder that can mimic a pituitary tumor clinically or radiologically. Furthermore, immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related systemic disease is only a just recently characterized disorder. It can manifest as a systemic disease involving multiple organs, including the
A 52-year-old man presented with vomiting, general fatigue and hyponatremia. His symptoms and signs were consistent with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Endocrine studies revealed hypopituitarism and administration of hydrocortisone resulted in a marked
Recent findings revealed that the clinical features of lymphocytic hypophysitis are more complicated than previously thought. It is rarely described in the first trimester of pregnancy and signs of meningeal irritation are infrequently reported. In this study, a pregnant woman in her first trimester
Sheehan's syndrome and lymphocytic hypophysitis often occur in relation to pregnancy, making their differentiation difficult. We describe a 52-yr-old woman with hypopituitarism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and candidiasis. She was admitted to our hospital because of nausea, vomiting and constipation.
A 29-year-old woman suffered from frontalgia with vomiting and visual field defects in the 9th month of pregnancy. Two weeks after delivery, a pituitary mass with suprasellar extension was demonstrated on computed tomography (CT). Angiogram revealed elevation of bilateral A1 segments and right
Autoimmune hypophysitis is an immune-related adverse event of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this article, we present the case of a 58-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency room with gradually worsening nonspecific symptoms of headache, nausea, vomiting and decreased oral intake
A 75-year-old man with a medical history of autoimmune pancreatitis associated with autoimmune thrombocytopenia was emergently admitted to our hospital because of anorexia, vomiting, and transient loss of consciousness. Serum sodium was 115 mEq/l and the endocrinologic data indicated impaired
A case of lymphocytic hypophysitis is described in a patient presenting with panhypopituitarism 8 years after her last childbirth. The patient developed headache, vomiting, and diplopia (due to palsy of the right lateral rectus muscle) 7 months after delivery of her last baby. The diplopia
BACKGROUND
Autoimmune hypophysitis (AH) is a rare primary autoimmune inflammatory disorder involving the pituitary gland.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of the clinical features and outcome of patients diagnosed with AH between 1988 and 2006, was carried out.
RESULTS
15 patients (14 females and
Lymphocytic hypophysitis, an autoimmune mediated chronic inflammation of the pituitary gland, is uncommon in children.(1) The usual presentation is with symptoms secondary to pressure from the enlargement of the gland itself and or impairment of pituitary hormones of varying degrees, in conjunction
Idiopathic granulomatous hypophysitis (IGH) is a rare inflammatory disease of the pituitary. There is debate in the scientific literature as to whether IGH represents a continuum of disease with lymphocytic hypophysitis or has a distinct pathogenesis. Due to the rare nature of the disease, previous
METHODS
A 13-year-old male castrated Domestic Shorthair cat was presented for investigation of lethargy, vomiting, polydipsia and polyuria. Glucocorticoid-deficient hypoadrenocorticism was suspected based on hypocholesterolaemia, hypoglycaemia and lack of a stress leucogram, and confirmed with an
In pregnancy, the volume of pituitary increases by multiplication of lactotopic and gonadotropic cells and developing placenta is the source of numerous hormones and enzymes that significantly affect and alter the function of the endocrine system. This naturally has an impact on the course of
