Spontaneous regression of one nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma associated with abnormal liver enzyme tests
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Nowadays, drug and observation are advised to patients with lymphocytic hypophysitis and in some cases with nonfunctioning pituitary macoadenoma, instead of surgery. Case presentation: In this article, we report a woman with nonfunctional pituitary macroadenoma and panhypopitutarism and negative criteria for lymphocytic hypophysitis associated with increased liver enzymes. After three months adenoma rapidly regressed and liver function tests were normal without any treatment. Conclusion: Seemingly, viral infection as one of the factors may be considered in cases with spontaneous regressed pituitary nonfunctional adenoma.

Perivascular Space Following Resection of a Pituitary Nonfunctioning Macroadenoma Perivascular spaces (PVSs), also referred to as Virchow-Robin spaces, surround both penetrating arteries and emerging veins in the brain tissue. PVSs are extensions of the subpial spaces, communicate with the subarachnoid spaces through holes in the pia mater, and are the drainage route of interstitial fluid into ...

BACKGROUND Nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma (NFPA) is a tumour of the endocrine system that is virtually always benign and can be difficult to detect. This case report is presented from the patient's perspective to highlight experiences that led to the eventual diagnosis of this condition.

Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RSTS) is an autosomal dominant disorder that is classically characterized by prenatal and postnatal growth restriction, microcephaly, dysmorphic craniofacial features, broad thumbs and toes, and intellectual disability. We describe the first reported case of a pituitary macroadenoma associated with RSTS. A 39-year-old Caucasian female with a past medical history of RS...
full textHigh Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome Features in Patients Previously Treated for Nonfunctioning Pituitary Macroadenoma
OBJECTIVE Patients treated for nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma (NFMA) with suprasellar extension show disturbed sleep characteristics, possibly related to hypothalamic dysfunction. In addition to hypopituitarism, both structural hypothalamic damage and sleep restriction per se are associated with the metabolic syndrome. However, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in patients with NF...

Sir, Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is most commonly an iatrogenic complication of exogenous gonadotropin administration for ovulation induction. Its clinical presentation varies from abdominal pain and bloating, nausea, vomiting, and ovarian enlargement to possibly life‐threatening conditions including renal failure, hypovolemic shock, adult respiratory distress syndrome, thromboembolism, a...
