Autopsy findings in a case of pituitary dwarfism.
Although the condition of pituitary dwarfism has been recognized for some considerable time, there is still a relative lack of published autopsy findings and the following case is reported briefly for this reason. Lack of hypophysial growth hormone (almost certainly elaborated in the alpha cells of the pars anterior) during infancy or childhood results in varying degrees of under-development wh...

Among these patients, those whose values were below 10 mteg/ml, showed no clini...
متن کاملPituitary function following treatment with reproductive toxins.
Appropriate regulation of reproductive processes are dependent upon the integrity of pituitary function. In this selected review, we evaluate the evidence that certain environmental compounds exert their effect on reproductive function via a direct action on the pituitary gland. We also discuss examples of changes in pituitary hormone secretion that occur in response to changes in neuronal or g...
متن کاملPosterior pituitary ectopia: an MR feature of pituitary dwarfism.
Using high-field-strength, 1.5-T, high-resolution MR, we identified the following complex of neurohypophyseal abnormalities in each of five pituitary dwarfs: (1) severe hypoplasia or total absence of the infundibulum; (2) absence of the posterior pituitary bright spot in its normal location; and (3) a 3-8-mm tissue nodule at the median eminence exhibiting lipidlike signal on T1-weighted images....
