Congenital Hypopituitarism in Neonates
NeoReviews, 2018Patients with congenital hypopituitarism are born without normal production of 1 or more of the hormones normally produced in the pituitary gland. The clinical spectrum varies widely; although a number of genetic causes are known, most cases are thought to be idiopathic.

Overview of Congenital Hypopituitarism for the Neonatologist
NeoReviews, 2022AbstractCongenital hypopituitarism is the deficiency in 1 or more hormones produced by the anterior pituitary or released by the posterior pituitary and has an estimated incidence of 1 in 4,000 to 10,000. Due to the critical role the pituitary plays in growth, metabolic, and reproductive processes, early diagnosis is essential to prevent devastating ...

Congenital hypopituitarism associated with hyperammonemia
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2009Neonatal onset hypopituitarism is a life threatening but potentially treatable metabolic condition. However, in the majority of cases it can be fatal due to the metabolic disturbances. We report a newborn with profound symptomatic hypoglycemia and hyperammonemia who initially was thought to have an inborn error of metabolism (IEM).

Cholestatic jaundice and congenital hypopituitarism
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1995Objective: The prevalence of cholestatic jaundice as a presenting feature of congenital hypopituitarism is assessed. Methodology: A retrospective case record analysis of the presenting features in all patients diagnosed as having congenital hypopituitarism between 1973–93.

Hypopituitarism Oddities: Congenital Causes
Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2007<i>Background:</i> The last 15 years have witnessed an explosion in our knowledge of hypothalamo-pituitary development, acquired mainly from naturally-occurring and transgenic animal models. A complex genetic cascade dictates organ commitment, cell differentiation and cell proliferation within the anterior pituitary.

Cancerous leptomeningitis and familial congenital hypopituitarism
Endocrine, 2016People 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: Clinico-Radiological Correlation
Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2009Non-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 ...

Clinics in Perinatology, 2018
Mutations of growth hormone genes and pituitary transcription factors account for a small proportion of cases of severe congenital hypopituitarism. Most cases show characteristic MRI findings of pituitary stalk interruption syndrome. Clinical suspicion should prompt assessment of cortisol, free T4, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone levels

Survival With Hypopituitarism From Congenital Syphilis
Pediatrics, 2002Congenital syphilis continues to occur despite the advances in testing of pregnant women in many countries and the availability of penicillin since 1943. This is a report of a child with multiple systemic manifestations of congenital syphilis. This is one of the few cases of survival with pituitary involvement from congenital syphilis and the first ...

Galactocele in a Male Infant with Congenital Hypopituitarism
Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2004Galactocele 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.
