OBJECTIVE
Several studies have indicated that psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are associated with psychological trauma, but only a few studies have examined the associations with neurobiologic stress systems, such as the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and its end-product
OBJECTIVE
We assess the effect of acute hypercortisolemia induced by ACTH stimulation on seizures and EEG interictal spike activity in patients with localization-related epilepsy (LRE) and stress-related seizures.
METHODS
Seven patients (3 males, 4 females) with LRE and stress-related seizures were
OBJECTIVE
To compare imaging findings in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) that did or did not have neurologic abnormalities. Design-Retrospective case series.
METHODS
157 dogs with PDH that did (n = 73) or did not (84) have neurologic abnormalities.
METHODS
Medical records
BACKGROUND
Cushing Syndrome is difficult to diagnose, and the comorbidities and persistent late effects of hypercortisolemia after treatment of the primary disease are challenging for the patient and the endocrinologist.
OBJECTIVE
To report the case of a girl with obesity and hypertension,
BACKGROUND
Medical treatment with trilostane improves clinical signs, causes unclear insulin requirement changes, and variable survival times in cats.
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the long-term efficacy of trilostane in treating cats with hyperadrenocorticism (HAC).
METHODS
Fifteen client-owned cats
Our laboratory recently demonstrated that seizures activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, increasing circulating levels of corticosterone (O'Toole et al., 2013). Given the well-established proconvulsant actions of corticosterone, we hypothesized that seizure-induced activation of
A 7-year-old, intact male standard Poodle dog with hypothyroidism and atypical hyperadrenocorticism developed acute signs of lethargy, weakness, inappetence, vomiting, and diarrhea. Clinical signs progressed to hind limb proprioceptive deficits, aggressive behavior with obtundation, and an equivocal
Summary: Cushing's disease is a rare disorder characterised by excessive cortisol production as a consequence of a corticotroph pituitary tumour. While the primary treatment is surgical resection, post-operative radiation therapy may be
Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a widely used therapeutic agent in seizure, pain, and mood disorders. Although CBZ has been shown to inhibit hypothalamic CRH secretion in vitro, limited data suggest that systemic CBZ induces pituitary-adrenal activation. Few data are available to reconcile these effects or
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is associated with high rates of depression and anxiety. A bidirectional causal relationship has been suggested, with these psychiatric comorbidities themselves enhancing epileptogenesis, possibly via hypercortisolemia. We examined the effects on epileptogenesis
Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is a rare catecholamine-producing tumour arising from chromaffin cells in the sympatho-adrenal system, and can present as asymptomatic adrenal incidentaloma (AI).We describe the case of a 61-year-old woman with a right adrenal mass No standardized treatment guidelines are reported in veterinary medicine for dogs with large pituitary corticotroph neoplasms causing neurological signs, and such dogs usually have a short overall survival. When these dogs undergo pituitary surgery and the tumor regrows there are few reports of
