Panhypopituitarism in Neurosarcoidosis: Pituitary-Hypothalamic Involvement Successfully Managed With Rituximab.
JCEM Case Rep

Neurosurgery Service, Specialty Hospital of the National Medical Center Siglo XXI, Mexican Social Security Institute, Mexico City 06720, Mexico.
Neurosarcoidosis (NS) is a rare form of sarcoidosis, with isolated hypothalamic-pituitary involvement being exceptionally uncommon. We report a 20-year-old woman presenting with polyuria, galactorrhea, amenorrhea, and substantial weight loss. Hormonal evaluation revealed hypopituitarism with arginine-vasopressin deficiency and hyperprolactinemia.

Introduction: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is one of the treatment options for the management of residual or recurrent secreting pituitary adenomas (PA). While the role of radiosurgery (RS) by Gamma Knife (GK) has been clearly established, Cyberknife (CK) RS has been evaluated in fewer series.
Material And Methods: To perform a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis, with the aim of focusing on the effect of CK RS on secreting PA.

Article Synopsis
- Pituitary adenomas often lead to the need for Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) after incomplete removal or recurrence, and this study aims to assess its long-term effectiveness.
- In a cohort study of 147 patients who underwent GKRS between 1999 and 2020, the researchers evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) over an average follow-up of 8.1 years, finding a 5-year PFS of 86% and a 10-year PFS of 68%.
- Results indicated that somatotrophic adenomas had lower progression risks, but 32% of patients experienced adverse radiation events, mainly hypopituitarism, highlighting the need to weigh outcomes against potential side effects.
Evaluation of a laboratory reflex testing protocol to detect hypopituitarism in primary care presenting as hypothyroxinaemia.

Background: Thyroid function tests (TFTs) are routinely requested by general practitioners (GPs) in the clinical biochemistry laboratory. Hypothyroxinaemia (low fT4) accompanied by TSH within the reference interval (RI) is a discordant pattern which is seen commonly in non-thyroidal illness and also as result of medications. Hypopituitarism is a lot rarer, but a serious condition the laboratory does not want to miss.

Article Synopsis
- - Hypopituitarism is a rare condition characterized by the absence of pituitary hormones, often caused by tumors or other masses, and diagnosed using MRI; intrasellar aneurysms are an uncommon cause, accounting for about 0.17% of cases.
- - A case study of a 72-year-old man highlights the connection between gastrointestinal issues and hypopituitarism, where he was found to have an unruptured internal carotid artery aneurysm, leading to panhypopituitarism.
- - After a stent-assisted coil embolization to treat the aneurysm and hormonal therapy, the patient showed no improvement in pituitary function after one year, emphasizing that hypopituitarism can persist
