Gluten intolerance is an autoimmune enteropathy caused by heterogeneous mixture of wheat storage proteins. Malabsorption symptoms imply diarrhoea, abdominal pain/bloating and weight loss. This case describes a 22-year-old female subject, who had chronic headache, joint pain, urticaria and long
We report a 16-year-old girl who had stunted growth and primary amenorrhea presenting with headache and vomiting. MRI of brain showed posterior fossa dermoid cyst with hydrocephalus and empty sella. Growth hormone (GH), Leutinizing hormone (LH) and Follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) were grossly
A case of giant left-sided frontal cerebral Echinococcus cyst causing headaches, galactorrhea--amenorrhea, secondary sterility, and gain in weight in an adult female patient is reported. The operative removal of this huge cyst led to complete neurological and endocrinologic recovery.
The effects of tiapride were studied in 180 patients, including 165 with cephalalgia originating in various causes and 15 with other types of pain. 110 of the 165 patients with cephalalgia completed the study; results were good or excellent in 78 (71%), with no differences related the the cause of
The present study was undertaken to investigate whether headache in women with nonpuerperal hyperprolactinemia was related to elevated serum prolactin (PRL) levels or the presence of a PRL-secreting pituitary adenoma. The subjects were 469 women seen initially during the period of 1973 to 1979 at
Amenorrhea is rarely presented as a manifestation of endocrinological disturbances in patients of chronic hydrocephalus. We describe two cases of secondary amenorrhea caused by hydrocephalus due to aqueductal stenosis. Two female patients of age 30 and 20 yr presented with amenorrhea and increasing
The involvement of the hypothalamic and/or the pituitary gland during granulomatous, infiltrative or autoimmune diseases is a rare condition of acquired hypothalamic dysfunction and non-tumoral-non-vascular hypopituitarism. Sarcoidosis is a pathogen-free granulomatous disease which affects both
This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of radiologically detectable pituitary tumors among patients seen initially in a gynecology clinic for a complaint of secondary amenorrhea. In a group of 144 women with secondary amenorrhea of more than 6 months' duration, 13 had radiologic
A 22-year-old woman with a history of headaches and secondary amenorrhea is reported. Her physical examination showed a visual acuity loss. An endocrine evaluation revealed hypopituitarism and an elevated level of serum prolactin. Polytomography demonstrated an enlarged sella with a double floor. A
A 25-year-old woman was seen for the complaint of secondary amenorrhea. Skull roentgenograms revealed a markedly enlarged sella turcica. Studies of pituitary and hypothalamic function including prolactin were normal. A pneumoencephalogram revealed dilated ventricles and a mass in the septum
Three young women who developed amenorrhea secondary to large, unsuspected pituitary tumors are described. They presented with acute onset of the triad of headache, nausea and vomiting, and visual abnormalities. One patient died; the other two retained some sequelae, and one had a significant
A 28-year-old woman with bilateral headaches and vomiting was found to have normal prolactin levels despite an eight-year history of intermittent galactorrhea and amenorrhea and the current finding of a pituitary microadenoma. The microadenoma contained hemosiderin. It is concluded that pituitary
