Article Synopsis
- - Micromegaly is a type of acromegaly with high IGF-I levels but normal baseline growth hormone (bGH) levels, raising questions about whether it's a distinct condition or an early form of classic acromegaly.
- - In a study involving 74 acromegaly patients, 6 (8.1%) had normal bGH, showing older age at diagnosis, lower post-glucose GH and IGF-I levels, and a higher obesity prevalence compared to those with elevated bGH.
- - Most patients with normal bGH had microadenomas, and outcomes after treatment were similar to those with elevated bGH, suggesting that while micromegaly is less common, it displays unique characteristics
