Permanent pacemaker implantation for atrioventricular block secondary to acute pancreatitis in a patient affected by panhypopituitarism.
Egypt Heart J

Division of Cardiovascular and Perioperative Medicine, Careggi University Hospital, Largo Brambilla 3, 50134, Florence, Italy.
Background: Hypopituitarism may trigger the development of acute pancreatitis (AP) through multiple mechanisms. AP may alter normal intracardiac conduction leading to an atrioventricular block. Due to the lack of similar cases, the correct timing and indication for pacemaker implantation in such a setting are unknown.

Myxedema Coma as a Presentation of Panhypopituitarism Secondary to Traumatic Brain Injury.
Case Rep Endocrinol
October 2024
Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, Central University Hospital of Asturias/University of Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Myxedema coma often involves reduced consciousness and low body temperature, potentially linked to thyroid issues, especially in patients with head trauma and central hormone deficiencies.
- A 52-year-old man with head trauma exhibited symptoms like drowsiness and hypotension, with initial tests showing normal TSH levels but low ACTH and FT4, and his condition worsened before improving with medication.
- The case highlights the importance of assessing both TSH and FT4 levels for diagnosing central hypothyroidism, as relying solely on TSH might lead to overlooked conditions in patients showing hormone deficiency symptoms post-trauma.
A young woman with unexpected panhypopituitarism: Case Report.

Augusta University Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, GA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - A 25-year-old woman with type II diabetes experienced severe nausea and vomiting, along with significant weight loss over 5 weeks, despite normal vital signs and extensive gastrointestinal testing.
- - Further investigation revealed panhypopituitarism, a rare condition causing deficiencies in multiple pituitary hormones, particularly adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol, which were linked to her symptoms.
- - After starting treatment for panhypopituitarism, her symptoms resolved within 24 hours, underscoring the importance of thorough medical history and examination in diagnosing rare conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Intracranial seminoma is a rare type of cancer that starts in special cells in the brain, often found in the pineal or pituitary gland.
- A 20-year-old patient had headaches and vision problems and was diagnosed with this cancer after an MRI showed issues with his pituitary stalk.
- He had surgery to remove the tumor and received treatment, but it came back a year later, leading to another surgery and ongoing treatments, although he still faces some health challenges.
