Galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia associated with chest wall injury. 1977

J E Morley, and M Dawson, and H Hodgkinson, and W J Kalk

A 48 year old premenopausal woman presented with galactorrhea and amenorrhea associated with chest wall burns. Basal serum prolactin levels were raised, and were further elevated by the administration of L-dopa, chlorpromazine and TRH. Intercostal nerve block and bromocryptine treatment reduced prolactin levels to normal, but did not noticably reduce milk secretion.
