Suprasellar lymphoid hyperplasia presenting with diabetes insipidus and hypogonadism.

چکیده
We report a pediatric patient who presented with hypogonadism and diabetes insipidus. Further evaluation revealed hypothyroidism. MRI of the brain revealed a suprasellar mass. Following frontal craniotomy for mass biopsy, histological analysis of the mass revealed benign lymphoid hyperplasia. The patient has had no progression of his mass or symptoms at most recent follow-up (10 months). We review this unusual case and other similar conditions. We believe this to be the first reported case of lymphoid hyperplasia without malignant cells of the suprasellar region.

متن کاملManagement of electrolyte and fluid disorders after brain surgery for pituitary/suprasellar tumours.
Disturbances in salt and water balances are relatively common in children after brain surgeries for suprasellar and pituitary tumours, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although hypernatraemia associated with central diabetes insipidus is commonly encountered, it is hyponatraemia (HN) that poses more of a diagnostic dilemma. The main differential diagnoses causing HN are the syn...
