Panhypopituitarism and anemia secondary to traumatic fracture of the sella turcica. 1978

A Kanade, and A E Ruiz, and K Tornyos, and I Wakabayashi, and A J Kastin

A case of a 27 year old man who developed anemia after fracture of the sella turcica is reported. The diagnosis of anterior pituitary insufficiency was made by a combined provocative test with TRH, LHRH, and insulin. The anemia was characterized by a hypocellular bone marrow which appeared to be functioning only in the thoracic-lumbar vertebrae, an absence of measurable erythropoietic activity, and by the return to normal of the hematological findings after hormonal replacement therapy. This patient had the highly unusual combination of proven panhypopituitarism and significant anemia resulting from a distinct fracture of the sella turcica.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007018 Hypopituitarism Diminution or cessation of secretion of one or more hormones from the anterior pituitary gland (including LH; FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE; SOMATOTROPIN; and CORTICOTROPIN). This may result from surgical or radiation ablation, non-secretory PITUITARY NEOPLASMS, metastatic tumors, infarction, PITUITARY APOPLEXY, infiltrative or granulomatous processes, and other conditions.
