Cancerous leptomeningitis and familial congenital hypopituitarism

Endocrine, 2016
People are at higher risk of cancer as they get older or have a strong family history of cancer. The potential influence of environmental and behavioral factors remains poorly understood. Earlier population and case control studies reported that upper quartile of circulating IGF-I is associated with a higher risk of developing cancer suggesting ...

Congenital hypopituitarism presenting as dilated cardiomyopathy in a child

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2011
Congenital hypopituitarism is commonly diagnosed either in infancy with neonatal hypoglycemia, prolonged jaundice and/or microphallus or in early to mid-childhood because of short stature. Replacement of deficient hormones allows the affected children to have a normal and productive life.

Congenital Hypopituitarism: Clinico-Radiological Correlation

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2009
Non-tumoral causes constitute a major group of childhood hypopituitarism. The structural abnormalities of the stalk and the pituitary gland correlate with number and severity of concurrent hormone deficiencies. We describe clinico-radiological correlates in patients with non-tumoral hypopituitarism.Thirty-one children (23 boys) with congenital ...

Galactocele in a Male Infant with Congenital Hypopituitarism

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2004
Galactocele is an uncommon benign breast lesion usually occurring in young lactating women. It is a rare cause of breast enlargement in children. We report a galactocele in a male child with congenital hypopituitarism and propose an association between the two conditions.

Sensorineural Deafness in Congenital Hypopituitarism with Severe Hypothyroidism

Acta Paediatrica, 1985
ABSTRACT. Marked sensorineural hearing loss was documented in an 18‐year‐old boy with untreated congenital anterior panhypopituitarism. The clinical manifestations of the hypothalamic thyroid failure were unusually severe in this patient. Seemingly this is the first case report of perceptive‐cochlear deafness in a subject with non primary congenital ...

Congenital hypopituitarism: clinical, molecular and neuroradiological correlates

Clinical Endocrinology, 2009
SummaryObjective  Recent studies have suggested that mutations in genes encoding several hypothalamo–pituitary (H–P) transcription factors result in hypopituitarism [isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) and combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD)], which may in turn be related to the neuroanatomy revealed by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.

Congenital hypopituitarism and microphthalmia. Report of two cases

Acta Paediatrica, 1993
Two children are described who had microphthalmia (one with unilateral and one with bilateral) noted at birth, and whose early onset of poor linear growth and weight gain led to a diagnosis of hypopituitarism prior to two years of age. Both children had growth hormone and thyroid‐stimulating hormone deficiencies, and evidence of partial ACTH deficiency.

Congenital Hypopituitarism and Conjugated Hyperbilirubinemia in Two Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1978
Congenital hypopituitarism in children is a well-recognized entity. 1-10 The association of severe neonatal hypoglycemia with growth hormone or adrenocorticotropin insufficiency and with the presence of a microphallus and cryptorchidism in some of the male patients is well established.

Congenital Hypopituitarism in Female Infants

American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1979
Congenital hypopituitarism was found in two female infants who had profound hypoglycemia and hypothyroidism. In both infants, death occurred despite recognition of the disorder and institution of appropriate therapy. Autopsy findings showed an absent pituitary gland and sella turcica, with hypoplastic adrenal and thyroid glands, and ovaries in one case,

Evaluation of an Infant with Cholestasis and Congenital Hypopituitarism

2017
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.
