Patient With Severe Hyponatremia Caused by Adrenal Insufficiency Due to Ectopic Posterior Pituitary Lobe and Miscommunication Between Hypothalamus and Pituitary
Hyponatremia may be one of the clinical manifestations of adrenal insufficiency (AI) and during the diagnostic workup of hyponatremic patients investigation of AI should be included.We report the case of an 82-year-old patient who was admitted to our hospital with clinical symptoms and laboratory findings of hyponatremia.

متن کاملPituitary Hormones: Posterior Pituitary & Anterior Pituitary
The pituitary gland, also known as hypophysis, is a small pea-sized gland about 1 cm in diameter and 0.5 to 1 gram in weight. The pituitary gland resides in a small bony cavity situated at the base of the brain, known as sella turcica, and a pituitary stalk (infundibulum) maintains a connection between the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. The secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland is und...

متن کاملPosterior Pituitary
Vasopressin and oxytocin are the only hormones known to be secreted by the neurohypophysis in humans. Human vasopressin is called arginine vasopressin (AVP) to distinguish it from lysine vasopressin in pigs. It is also called antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which reflects its major physiologic action. These hormones are nonapeptides (nine amino acids) with similar primary structures but very differ...
متن کاملPosterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome Due to Hyponatremia
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by variable associations of seizure activity, consciousness impairment, headaches, visual abnormalities, nausea/vomiting, and focal neurological signs. The PRES may occur in diverse situations. The findings on neuroimaging in PRES are often symmetric and predominate edema in the white matter of the brain areas perfused by the ...
