Central hypothyroidism is a rare cause of hypothyroidism, consequence of various disorders affecting pituitary (secondary) or hypothalamus (tertiary hypothyroidism). Difficulties in the diagnosis and management of patients are due to the nontypical clinical picture, frequent combination with impaired function of other pituitary hormones, difficulties ...

Central hypothyroidism is defined as hypothyroidism due to insufficient stimulation by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) of an otherwise normal thyroid gland. It has an estimated prevalence of approximately 1 in 80,000 to 1 in 120,000. It can be secondary hypothyroidism (pituitary) or tertiary hypothyroidism (hypothalamus) in origin. In children, it is

Central hypothyroidism: are patients undertreated? [PDF]
Introduction Thyroid hormone replacement in central hypothyroidism (CHT) is more difficult than in primary hypothyroidism (PHT), putting patients at risk for inappropriate substitution. In this study, we compared the dosage of thyroid hormone replacement in patients with CHT with that of patients with PHT. In addition, we explored and compared quality

Central Hypothyroidism in Severe Sepsis [PDF]
A partial or complete deficiency of hormone secretion by pituitary gland (hypopituitarism) is commonly seen after a pituitary apoplexy caused by an infarction of a pituitary adenoma or pituitary hyperplasia (as in Sheehan's syndrome). Hypopituitarism may also follow surgery, when hypovolemia, anticoagulation, fat/air/bone marrow microemboli can provoke

Increased Central Arterial Stiffness in Hypothyroidism [PDF]
Hypothyroidism is associated with cardiovascular dysfunction. It is increasingly apparent that stiffening of central arteries may lead to increased afterload and cardiac dysfunction. We noninvasively studied the peripheral and central pressure waveforms in 12 untreated hypothyroid patients as well as in 12 age-, sex-, and body mass index-matched ...

Central Hypothyroidism With Oxcarbazepine Therapy
Abnormalities in thyroid function with the use of several antiepileptic medications are thought to result from increased metabolism of thyroid hormone and interference with the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Oxcarbazepine was developed to attempt to reduce the side effects that have traditionally been observed with antiepileptic drugs that induce the ...

Congenital nystagmus and central hypothyroidism
We observed a male newborn with bilateral nystagmus and central hypothyroidism without hypoprolactinemia due to a deletion of chromosome band Xq26.1q26.2, containing FRMD7 and IGSF1. These two loss-of function mutations are known to cause, respectively, congenital nystagmus and the ensemble of central hypothyroidism, hypoprolactinemia and testicular ...

Central hypothyroidism is a state of thyroid hormone deficiency due to disorders of the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, or hypothalamic–pituitary portal circulation, often due to low thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), insufficient stimulation of normal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), or both.

Isolated Central Hypothyroidism in Short Stature [PDF]
Mild hypothyroidism can be difficult to diagnose, particularly when it is caused by deficiency of TSH or TSH-releasing hormone (TRH). Such central hypothyroidism occurs most often in association with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Isolated central hypothyroidism has been considered rare.
