11/12. amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome with craniopharyngioma.Two cases of craniopharyngioma presenting with amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome due to hyperprolactinemia are reported. After operation and irradiation, the tumor reduced markedly in size. Coincidental decrease in plasma prolactin level and restoration of menstruation seem to support the view that the hypothalamic prolactin inhibiting factor (PIF) had played an important role in hyperprolactinemia in these two patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = galactorrhea (Clic here for more details about this article) |
12/12. Primary low cerebrospinal fluid pressure syndrome associated with galactorrhea.A 36-year-old woman with positional headache was found to have primary low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure syndrome and galactorrhea. The CSF pressure at lumbar puncture was not measurable. magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that the ventricle and cerebral sulcus were narrowed and the pituitary stalk was oppressed by the brain. Hyperresponsiveness of prolactin was noted after stimulation with thyrotropin-releasing hormone. These abnormalities disappeared with normalization of CSF pressure with the treatment. galactorrhea was apparently due to oppression of the pituitary stalk by downward movement of the brain.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = galactorrhea (Clic here for more details about this article) |
