A Descriptive Study to Find Possible Correlation between Pituitary Magnetic Resonance Image Findings and Abnormal Pituitary Hormones: A Retrospective Single Centre Study in Saudi Community Based Hospital.

Background: Data on pituitary Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in patients with abnormal pituitary hormones in Saudi Arabia are very scarce.

Objective: To define the frequency of normal pituitary MRI in patients with abnormal pituitary hormones in a well-defined population.

Design: Retrospective analysis of radiological and hormonal data of patients with pituitary MRI between January 2008 and December 2015.

An 18-year study of thyroid carcinoma in the western region of Saudi Arabia: a retrospective single-center study in a community hospital.

Background: Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is the ninth most common site of all cancers in women in the world and the second most common malignancy in Saudi Arabia. This reports updates data on the epidemiology of the disease in Saudi Arabia.

Objective: Describe and interpret changes in the frequency of TC to compare with other populations and determine proportions of certain histological types of TC.

Polyglandular Autoimmune Syndrome III with Hypoglycemia and Association with Empty Sella and Hypopituitarism.

A 25-year-old Saudi female with a known case of autoimmune thyroiditis presented to the Emergency Room in stuporous condition. A blood test revealed a blood sugar level of 1.7 mmols/l (30.

The epidemiology of pituitary adenomas in a community-based hospital: a retrospective single center study in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Data on pituitary adenoma (PA) prevalence in Saudi Arabia are scarce.

Objective: To estimate the epidemiology of PA in a well-defined population.

Design: Retrospective analysis.

Polycystic Liver Disease with Huge Infected Cyst Displacing the Pancreas, Inferior Vena Cava and Right Kidney.

Multiple liver cysts can be an isolated disease (isolated polycystic liver disease [PLD]) or they can be part of multi-organ involvement in other diseases, such as adult autosomal dominant polycystic disease (APD), which is the most frequently inherited polycystic disease affecting 1 in 1,000 of the population. About 33% of APD patients are expected to develop PLD. Cysts in the liver, as opposed to cysts in the kidney, grow dramatically in number and size.

An unusual cause of gastric outlet obstruction: a pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm.

We present a rare case of gastric outlet obstruction due to compression of the duodenum by a pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysm 2.5 cm in diameter, in a 43-year-old man from Saudi Arabia who presented with persistent vomiting and epigastric pain. The initial investigations and blood works were negative, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was unremarkable.

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis in a Saudi patient complicated by life-threatening arrhythmia.

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is rare in non-Orientals, and sporadic case reports were reported world-wide. Eight cases were reported in Arabs, including 3 Saudis. We present an additional case of TPP in a 38-year-old Saudi man, and review the literature on TPP in Arabs.

Glycohemoglobin A1c: A promising screening tool in gestational diabetes mellitus.

Context: Current screening tests for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are inconvenient. Therefore, alternative screening tests for GDM are desirable. The use of glycohemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in screening for GDM remains controversial.
