Abstract Acquired hypothalamic obesity (aHO) is characterized by rapid and persistent weight gain resulting from structural or functional damage to the hypothalamus, typically accompanied by neuroendocrine dysfunction. While aHO is well described in the context of hypothalamic or suprasellar tumors, particularly craniopharyngioma, little is known about

Development of the neurohypophysis: A major neuroendocrine interface
Abstract The neurohypophysis is a major central neuroendocrine interface regulating reproductive functions and water homeostasis. Distinct neurovascular cell types interact via evolutionarily conserved signaling molecules in the developing neurohypophysis, providing a model system for studying principles in neuroendocrine interface morphogenesis.

Paediatric hypopituitarism: a case report and management challenges in a resource poor setting
Hypopituitarism, a deficiency of one or more of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland, is a rare disorder. It can be congenital or acquired. Case report on childhood hypopituitarism is rare in Nigeria. We present a 15-year-old boy, second of a set

Evaluation of the Effect of IL‐1 Antagonists on Pituitary Function
Background Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary autoinflammatory disease frequently observed in populations along the Eastern Mediterranean coast, characterized by recurrent fever, abdominal pain, and joint inflammation. The disease results from mutations in the MEFV gene, which plays a critical role in regulating IL‐1β secretion ...

Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome presenting in a euthyroid adult with short stature
Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a distinct and rare clinical entity responsible for congenital hypopituitarism resulting in deficiency of pituitary hormones with deficiency of the growth hormone (100%) and gonadotropins (97.2%) being its ...

This article focuses on four cases of hydrocephalus after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in our center from 2016 to 2021. Imaging follow‐up showed that the secondary suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst was enlarged and then formed obstructive hydrocephalus. The clinical symptoms were relieved after a suprasellar cisterna cyst stomy.
