Introduction. Dilated cardiomyopathy is rarely reported among CS patients especially without hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. Materials and Methods. We hereby report a Cushing's syndrome case presenting with dilated cardiomyopathy. Results. A 48-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with severe proximal myopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy without ventricular hypertrop...

Pituitary adenomas are benign tumours that may induce clinical signs either by secreting hormones (growth hormone [GH], adrenocorticotropin hormone [ACTH] or prolactin [PRL]) or by local mass effect, particularly chiasmatic compression. Thus, the therapeutic algorithm is different whether the aim of the treatment is to control signs of hormone hypersecretion (for instance in a secreting microad...

Background: Hyperadrenocorticism in dogs is among the three most common endocrinopathies of dogs. Approximately 85% of dogs with spontaneous hyperadrenocorticism have pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH). Pituitarydependent hyperadrenocorticism is due to an excessive secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), usually by a pituitary microadenoma. However, up to 30% of PDH cases h...

Twenty-five patients with suspected pituitary adenoma were evaluated prospectively with CT and MR. Nine patients underwent transsphenoidal surgery, and three of these showed a documented decrease in size of mass on bromocriptine therapy. CT was more sensitive than MR for detecting focal lesions (seven vs three) and sellar-floor erosion (12 vs six). MR was superior to CT in identifying infundibu...

Objectives: This study aimed to compare CSF leak in endoscopic endonasal TSS of pituitary adenoma with and without reconstruction the sellar floor no intraoperative leakage. Materials Methods: It was a randomized controlled trial 116 patients both genders diagnosed case who underwent over 1 year. The cases were into 2 groups. In Group A floor, done while B only transsphenoidal surgery reconstru...

Ovarian steroid cell tumors (SCTs) are a rare type of sex-cord stromal that account for 0.1% all ovarian tumors. These can occur at any age and typically secrete hormones such as androstenedione testosterone. We report young woman with known microprolactinoma who presented secondary amenorrhea virilization was found to have secreting SCT. A 32-year-old nulligravid history infertility evaluation...

This report presents a unique case of hypercalcemia with an elusive etiology. A 37-year-old Caucasian female history gonadotropin-secreting pituitary microadenoma and recurrent nephrolithiasis was found to have hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels, low parathyroid hormone levels. Extensive investigations were conducted identify the cause, including ruling out s...
