Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Untreated acromegaly is usually a progressive disorder resulting in early death from cardiovascular or pulmonary complications. Although spontaneous remission of the metabolic features of acromegaly is not uncommon, its correlation with return to truly normal serum growth hormone concentrations is not routinely documented. This study reports a patient with the empty sella syndrome occurring as a sequel to the spontaneous remission of acromegaly. This association, as well as the preservation of normal anterior-pituitary function, suggests that selective tumor infarction resulted in the "empty sella" and cessation of active acromegaly. |
