[Clinical evaluation on glucocorticoid administration in neurosurgical patients (author's transl)]. 1977

S Mori, and T Uozumi, and M Watanabe, and T Hashimoto, and H Mogami

Anterior pituitary function tests (ITT, TRH test and LH-RH test) were performed on 10 patients with intracranial lesions other than hypothalamo-pituitary tumors. These lesions were 8 brain tumors and 2 aneurysms. Relatively high doses of glucocorticoid were administered in pre- and post-operative period to all the cases. Preoperative study showed a slightly low response of GH and FSH in one case and a low TSH response in 2 cases. ACTH, LH and PRL were normal in all the cases. Postoperative study was performed about 10 days after ceasing of glucocorticoid. Postoperative data revealed that anterior pituitary function tests did not show any significant changes after surgeries in all the patients.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.

D005938 Glucocorticoids A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
