hypophysitis/vomiting

Idiopathic granulomatous hypophysitis (IGH) is a rare inflammatory disease of the pituitary that commonly presents with enlargement of the pituitary gland. Clinically and radiologically, IGH is a rare sellar entity easily to be misdiagnosed as a pituitary adenoma. Through such a case, we aim to

An 87-year-old man was admitted with fatigue, anorexia, vomiting, urinary incontinence, and a depressive state. His consciousness was evaluated as a 13 on the Glasgow Coma Scale (E4V3M6), and he had a body temperature of 36.4°C, a blood pressure of 91/60 mmHg, and a heart rate of 88 beats/min.

Hypophysitis is a rare inflammatory disorder that can mimic a pituitary tumor clinically or radiologically. Furthermore, immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related systemic disease is only a just recently characterized disorder. It can manifest as a systemic disease involving multiple organs, including the

Recent findings revealed that the clinical features of lymphocytic hypophysitis are more complicated than previously thought. It is rarely described in the first trimester of pregnancy and signs of meningeal irritation are infrequently reported. In this study, a pregnant woman in her first trimester

Sheehan's syndrome and lymphocytic hypophysitis often occur in relation to pregnancy, making their differentiation difficult. We describe a 52-yr-old woman with hypopituitarism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and candidiasis. She was admitted to our hospital because of nausea, vomiting and constipation.

Autoimmune hypophysitis is an immune-related adverse event of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this article, we present the case of a 58-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency room with gradually worsening nonspecific symptoms of headache, nausea, vomiting and decreased oral intake

A 75-year-old man with a medical history of autoimmune pancreatitis associated with autoimmune thrombocytopenia was emergently admitted to our hospital because of anorexia, vomiting, and transient loss of consciousness. Serum sodium was 115 mEq/l and the endocrinologic data indicated impaired

We describe the clinical course of a 64-year-old woman with stage IVa lung adenocarcinoma who presented with over 1 month of fatigue, unintentional weight loss and emesis. She initiated treatment with nivolumab immunotherapy 1 year prior and had been tolerating the treatment well. A comprehensive

A case of lymphocytic hypophysitis is described in a patient presenting with panhypopituitarism 8 years after her last childbirth. The patient developed headache, vomiting, and diplopia (due to palsy of the right lateral rectus muscle) 7 months after delivery of her last baby. The diplopia

A 32-year-old woman presented with severe headache, photophobia, fever, nausea, vomiting, and worsening vision. She had also noted several months of amenorrhea. She was febrile to 38.9 degrees C. Laboratory evaluation revealed a markedly elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Lumbar puncture

BACKGROUND Autoimmune hypophysitis (AH) is a rare primary autoimmune inflammatory disorder involving the pituitary gland. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the clinical features and outcome of patients diagnosed with AH between 1988 and 2006, was carried out. RESULTS 15 patients (14 females and

Lymphocytic hypophysitis, an autoimmune mediated chronic inflammation of the pituitary gland, is uncommon in children.(1) The usual presentation is with symptoms secondary to pressure from the enlargement of the gland itself and or impairment of pituitary hormones of varying degrees, in conjunction

Idiopathic granulomatous hypophysitis (IGH) is a rare inflammatory disease of the pituitary. There is debate in the scientific literature as to whether IGH represents a continuum of disease with lymphocytic hypophysitis or has a distinct pathogenesis. Due to the rare nature of the disease, previous

Tumor-like hypophysitis is an uncommon sellar condition that presents as inflammatory lesions on the structures of the pituitary gland. The diagnosis and management of hypophysitis poses a significant challenge, as its clinical manifestation and appearance in imaging studies are difficult to

Hypophysitis is classified into primary and secondary. Xanthomatous hypophysitis is one of the rare types of primary hypophysitis. A 55-year-old female presented with headache, vomiting, and blurring of vision. She also had endocrine dysfunction in the form of low serum T3, T4, and low cortisol
