Evaluation of an Infant with Cholestasis and Congenital Hypopituitarism
We are reporting an infant with persistent abnormal liver function, neonatal jaundice, and intermittent hypoglycemia. Evaluation confirmed congenital hypopituitarism, in the absence of congenital anomalies and midline defect. His jaundice and abnormal liver function improved after treatment with Levothyroxine and hydrocortisone.
متن کاملCognitive function in congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Cognition in patients with CAH has not been as well studied as other aspects of psychologic function. Nevertheless, it is possible to make some conclusions and to offer a number of hypotheses for further study (Table 1). First, patients with CAH do not seem to have an overall intellectual advantage as a direct consequence of the disease. The high IQs reported in some groups of patients with CAH...

متن کاملAddisonian-like crisis in congenital hypopituitarism and cholestatic jaundice.
A six-week-old male infant was admitted for investigation of cholestasis and pale stools. He became lethargic and apnoeic with prolonged seizures after a percutaneous liver biopsy. Subsequent investigations showed conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia, elevated liver enzymes, and hypoglycaemia. The radinuclide hepatobiliary scintigraphy was non-excretory. After an operative cholangiogram, the infant d...
متن کاملHeterozygous defects in PAX6 gene and congenital hypopituitarism.
BACKGROUND The prevalence of congenital hypopituitarism (CH) attributable to known transcription factor mutations appears to be rare and other causative genes for CH remain to be identified. Due to the sporadic occurrence of CH, de novo chromosomal rearrangements could be one of the molecular mechanisms participating in its etiology, especially in syndromic cases. OBJECTIVE To identify the ro...
