Valvular Heart Disease in Patients with Prolactinomas on Cabergoline Treatment
Dopamine agonists are the first line treatment of prolactinomas and Parkinson’s disease. Has shown an association between the use of high doses of ergot dopamine agonists, cabergoline and pergolide, and development of clinically significant (moderate to severe) heart valve regurgitation, valvular thickening and retraction in patients with Parkinson’s disease [1,2]. Because of this, he has appea...
متن کاملProlactinomas resistant to standard doses of cabergoline: a multicenter study of 92 patients.
BACKGROUND Dopamine agonist resistance in prolactinoma is an infrequent phenomenon. Doses of cabergoline (CAB) of up to 2.0 mg/week are usually effective in controlling prolactin (PRL) secretion and reducing tumor size in prolactinomas. The clinical presentation, management, and outcome of patients that are not well controlled by such commonly used doses of CAB-resistant patients are poorly und...
متن کاملSpinal radiosurgery: a neurosurgical perspective.
Spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS) is proving to be one of the most significant advances in the treatment of both metastatic and primary spine tumors. High-dose hypofractionated and single fraction radiation appear to convey better local tumor control than conventional radiation for tumors considered radioresistant, such as renal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Multiple series have demonstrate...
متن کاملEffect of chronic cabergoline treatment and testosterone replacement on metabolism in male patients with prolactinomas.
INTRODUCTION Hyperprolactinemia and hypogonadism are reportedly associated with an impaired metabolic profile. The current study aimed at investigating the effects of testosterone replacement and cabergoline (CAB) treatment on the metabolic profile in male hyperprolactinemic patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-two men with prolactinomas, including 22 with total testosterone (TT) <8 nmol/l (...
متن کاملManagement of childhood spasticity: a neurosurgical perspective.
The management of childhood spasticity requires a multidisciplinary effort. With input from pediatricians, physical and occupational therapists, neurologists, orthotists, orthopedic surgeons, neurological surgeons, and other healthcare personnel, effective treatment for spasticity can be initiated and maintained that can lead to meaningful improvements in quality of life for vast numbers of chi...
