神經腦垂體異位症併泛腦垂體機能低下-一病例報告

Ectopic Neurohypophysis Associated with Panhypopituitarism

摘要


本文報告一位20歲泛腦垂體機能低下(congenital panhypopituitarism)的男性患者,臨床上有明顯性腺機能低下(hypogonadism)的表徵。實驗室檢查確認有腎上腺皮質機能低下,甲狀腺機能低下,性腺機能低下及輕微的高泌乳激素血症。而施行L-dopa,Clonidine或胰島素低血糖刺激試驗後,生長激素的反應都低於正常值。在腦部磁振顯影發現:腦垂體前葉發育不全併神經腦垂體異位症(ectopic neurohypophysis)及垂體柄消失。回顧文獻的記載,若影像學檢查看不到垂體柄(absence of pituitary stalk),表示其腦垂體前葉發育不全是較嚴重型,往往會同時缺乏多種前葉激素(multiple anterior pituitary hormone deficiency)。

並列摘要


We report a 20-year-old man with panhypopituitarism and overt hypogonadism. The laboratory findings confirmed the diagnosis of hypocortisolism, hypothyroidism, hypogonadotropism and mild hyperprolactinemia. Provocative tests revealed subnormal response of growth hormone to L-dopa, Clonidine and Insulin hypoglycemia stimulation. The magnetic resonance imaging study of brain showed: hypoplastic pituitary with ectopic neurohypophysis and absence of pituitary stalk. We reviewed the literatures and proposed that the absence of pituitary stalk in imaging study are afflicted with a more severe form of adenohypophysis hypoplasia and have multiple anterior pituitary hormone deficiency.
