In obtaining a differential diagnosis of lymphocytic adenohypophysitis preoperatively, it is useful to note swelling of the anterior hypophyseal tissue and the existence of a posterior pituitary lobe on sagittal sections of magnetic resonance imaging [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The axons run from the supraoptic and paraventricular hypothalamic nuclei and have swellings called neurosecretory (Herring) bodies (NB) from which either oxytocin or vasopressin is released upon neural stimulation. [de.slideshare.net]

One case showed swelling of the posterior pituitary gland. Among all patients ( n 22), an abnormally thickened infundibular stalk was found in 17 patients, and loss of T1 hyperintensity in the posterior lobe was seen in 18 patients. [e-enm.org]

There are some reported cases presenting with swelling of the whole pituitary gland and stalk with no appreciable anterior pituitary dysfunction. [asean-endocrinejournal.org]

The true prevalence of LYH is underestimated probably because of poor recognition of this disorder by physicians. Early diagnosis is essential because untreated disease can be fatal. [journals.lww.com]

Practitioners should keep in mind the possibility of lymphocytic adenohypophysitis in any pregnant women with symptoms of hypoglycemia and hypothermia after delivery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 47-year-old woman complaining of cold intolerance, general weakness and amenorrhea of 10 months duration was diagnosed, by endocrine examinations, as having panhypopituitarism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An unconscious, 29-year-old woman was taken to hospital where, 28 hours after admission, she succumbed to an intractable shock. Autopsy disclosed a lymphocytic adenohypophysitis (LAH). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

She had diabetes insipidus and bitemporal hemianopsia. Radiological evidence suggested a mass arising in the sella turcica with extension into the parasellar and suprasellar regions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Compression of the pituitary gland itself may cause hypopituitarism, and compression of the optic chiasm results in bitemporal hemianopsia. Headache is also a common symptom of pituitary tumors. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Bitemporal hemianopsia accounts for the majority of visual symptoms, with impaired acuity and diplopia being relatively uncommon. Endocrine dysfunction has been reported in up to 80% of cases. [surgicalneurologyint.com]

Repeated CT performed three months after delivery showed that the pituitary mass had undergone a spontaneous regression in size, and her visual impairment improved. [unboundmedicine.com]

With mass effect and dural irritation, headache, and visual impairment have been reported in up to 50–70% of cases. Bitemporal hemianopsia accounts for the majority of visual symptoms, with impaired acuity and diplopia being relatively uncommon. [surgicalneurologyint.com]

A 45-year-old female presented with blurred vision, headache, and abnormal thirstiness. She was not pregnant nor postpartum. She had diabetes insipidus and bitemporal hemianopsia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

None of the other known causes of galactorrhea was present suggesting that this may be a new addition to the differential diagnosis of galactorrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This case suggests that some patients with postpartum hypopituitarism suggestive of lymphocytic adenohypophysitis, and with pituitary mass need not have early surgical intervention but may be closely observed and treated by hormone replacement alone. [unboundmedicine.com]

Oligomenorrhea newly appeared during the study in three patients, although no other symptoms appeared. Serum fT3 and fT4 levels were within the reference ranges, and serum TSH level and its response to TRH stimulation remained low in all patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The removed tissue had histological features consistent with adenohypophysitis including a diffuse lymphocytic infiltrate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
