Development of pituitary adenoma in women with hyperprolactinaemia.
Sixty eight women referred for treatment of hyperprolactinaemia entered a three year follow up study to determine the clinical and endocrine course of the disease and its association with microadenoma of the pituitary. Details recorded before treatment included medical history, gonadotrophin and ovarian hormonal concentrations, and release of prolactin in response to protirelin (thyrotrophin re...
متن کاملCoexistence of macroprolactinaemia and hyperprolactinaemia in women with oligo-/amenorrhoea is associated with high risk of pituitary adenomas.
Macroprolactin may cause elevation of prolactin (PRL) concentrations measured by standard assays. In our study, we assessed the prevalence of pituitary lesions in women with macroprolactinaemia and either oligomenorrhoea or secondary amenorrhoea. Pituitary MRI scans were performed in 61 women aged 31.0 ± 6.7 years (mean ± SD), with raised PRL concentrations due to macroprolactinaemia, detec...
متن کاملPostpartum amenorrhoea-galactorrhoea associated with hyperprolactinaemia and pituitary enlargement in primary hypothyroidism.
We report a 36-year-old woman with primary hypothyroidism revealed by postpartum amenorrhoea-galactorrhoea associated with hyperprolactinaemia and suprasellar pituitary enlargement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On thyroid hormone replacement therapy all clinical, biochemical, radiological and endocrine abnormalities disappeared. Hyperplasia of pituitary thyrotrophs and/or lactotrophs see...
متن کاملPrimary hypothyroidism presenting as amenorrhoea and galactorrhoea with hyperprolactinaemia and pituitary enlargement.
The combination of amenorrhoea, galactorrhoea, and hyper-prolactinaemia in a young woman usually suggests that she has a prolactin secreting adenoma of the anterior pituitary gland. Primary autoimmune thyroid failure, however, is common in young women and may also be associated with hyperprolactinaemia and with galactorrhoea in those whose breasts have been exposed to oestrogen. Hypothyroidism ...
متن کاملManagement of endocrine disorders in pregnancy. Part II. Pituitary, ovarian and adrenal disease.
The scope of the problem of the management of pregnancies occurring in women with pituitary disease is indicated by the fact that 20% ofnon-pregnant women with amenorrhoea have hyperprolactinaemia and 40% of women with hyperprolactinaemia have pituitary tumours (Franks et al., 1975). We concentrate therefore on disturbance of prolactin secretion and discuss other pituitary diseases only briefly...
