Central diabetes insipidus (DI) can be the outcome of a number of diseases that affect the hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal axis. The causes of the condition can be classified as traumatic, inflammatory, or neoplastic. Traumatic causes include postoperative sella or transection of the pituitary stalk, while infectious or inflammatory causes include meningitis, lymphocytic hypophysitis, and granulomatous inflammations such as sarcoidosis and Wegener''s granulomatosis. Various neoplastic conditions such as germinoma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, metastasis, leukemic infiltration, lymphoma, teratoma, pituitary adenoma, craniopharyngioma, Rathke cleft cyst, hypothalamic glioma, and meningioma are also causes of central DI. In affected patients, careful analysis of these MR imaging features and correlation with the clinical manifestations can allow a more specific diagnosis, which is essential for treatment. 相似文献

Suprasellar germ cell tumor with subarachnoid seeding MRI and MR spectroscopy findings 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A case of suprasellar germinoma with subarachnoid seeding is presented. Patient had a history of depression unresponsive to drug therapy and recently developed diabetes insipidus. MR imaging revealed a huge suprasellar mass, heterogenous in signal intensity due to cystic components. MR spectroscopy of the mass showed prominent lipid peak suggesting high malignant potential. 相似文献

Primary panhypopituitarism consists of functional deficiency of the anterior pituitary lobe, which appears during infancy or adolescence. The magnetic resonance findings in 10 patients with a history of primary hopopituitarism are presented. The findings include: reduced pituitary size in all cases: partially (8 cases) or totally (2 cases) empty sella; thin (4 cases), partially visible (3 cases) or absent (2 cases) pituitary stalk; absence of the posterior lobe in 9 cases: bright spot corresponding to an ectopic posterior lobe in 8 cases. These findings are similar to those already reported in pituitary dwarfism and may help under-genesis of the pathogenesis of the disease: which seems to he related to a pituitary stalk lesion. 相似文献

We report the skull radiograph, CT and MRI findings in three patients with lymphocytic adenohypophysitis mimicking pituitary
adenoma. All cases were associated with pregnancy. CT demonstrated a pituitary mass but did not differentiate lymphocytic
adenohypophysitis from pituitary adenoma. The skull radiographs showed either a normal sella turcica or minimal abnormalities;
they did not show ballooning or destruction. The MRI appearances were distinctive: relatively low signal on T1-weighted images;
preservation of the bright posterior pituitary lobe despite the presence of a relatively large pituitary mass, less common
in macroadenomas; marked contrast enhancement compared with pituitary macroadenomas; and dural enhancement adjacent to a pituitary
mass.

MRI of growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas: factors determining pretreatment hormone levels 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Preoperative serum growth hormone (GH) level is one of the most important determinants of outcome. Our aim was to assess
MRI findings which may correlate with pretreatment GH levels in GH-secreting adenomas. We retrospectively studied 29 patients
with acromegaly caused by a pituitary adenoma. Tumor size (height, width, thickness and volume), suprasellar extension, sphenoid
or cavernous sinus invasion, signal intensity and contrast enhancement were studied. Linear regression analysis or Fisher's
exact probability test was used for statistical analysis. Factors related to high GH levels were the maximum dimension of
the tumour (r = 0.496, P < 0.01), its volume (r = 0.439, P < 0.05), spenoid sinus invasion (P < 0.01) and intracavernous carotid artery (encasement (P < 0.01). The other items were not related to serum GH levels. Since we believe surgery is the first choice of treatment and
the cavernous sinus is difficult of access with a conventional surgical approach, preoperative assessment of invasion into
the cavernous sinus is critical for predicting the surgical outcome. Low GH levels (5–50 ng/ml) were found with tumours medial
to the intercarotid line and high levels (more than 101 ng/ml) with invasive tumours with carotid artery encasement. Variable
GH levels were noted with tumours extending beyond the intercarotid line. Because functioning adenomas invading the cavernous
sinus tend to have markedly high hormone levels, and only patients with carotid artery encasement showed markedly elevated
GH levels, we believe carotid artery encasement a reliable MRI indicator of cavernous sinus invasion.

Agenesis of the internal carotid artery with a trans-sellar anastomosis: CT and MRI findings in late-onset congenital hypopituitarism 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
A 29-year-old woman with a history of hypothyroidism since early childhood developed hypopituitarism. CT and MRI revealed
anterior pituitary hypoplasia, an ectopic posterior lobe, a Chiari I malformation and agenesis of the right internal carotid
artery with a trans-sellar anastomosis. This constellation of findings constitutes a previously unreported association in
congenital hypopituitarism of late onset. The usefulness of imaging modalities and the pathogenic implications are also discussed.

We describe a rare pituitary cryptococcoma in an immunocompetent patient, with radiological features similar to those of a pituitary macroadenoma. Although unusual, it should be added to the list of differential diagnosis of pituitary masses. Contrast enhancement of adjacent meninges differentiated the lesion from an adenoma. 相似文献

With large pituitary adenomas, the optic nerves and chiasm usually lie on the tumour capsule and are displaced superiorly. We report a large invasive pituitary adenoma, with complete involvement of both optic nerves. Review of the preoperative MR images demonstrated the optic nerves, with signal intensity close to that of cerebral white matter, and different from the flow void of the basal cerebral arteries. Correlation of this observation with intraoperative findings is discussed. 相似文献

Evolving radiological features of hypothalamo-pituitary lesions in adult patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare, systemic disease caused by monoclonal expansion of dendritic cells that shows
a particular predilection for the hypothalamic–pituitary system (HPS). We studied the function (anterior and posterior pituitary
hormonal secretion) and morphology using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the HPS in 17 adult patients (seven males, median
age 35 years, range 18–59 years) with multisystem LCH. We also evaluated the evolution of structural HPS abnormalities in
relation to pituitary function and response to treatment in 12 of these patients during a median follow-up period of 3.75 years
(range 1.5–10 years). Of the 17 patients, 14 (82%) had abnormal HPS imaging, and 12 (70%) had more than one area involved.
Lack of the bright spot of the posterior pituitary lobe was typically found in all patients with the diagnosis of diabetes
insipidus (DI). Eight patients (47%) had infundibular enlargement, six (35%) pituitary infiltration, four (24%) partially
or completely empty sella, three (18%) hypothalamic involvement, and two (12%) infundibular atrophy. DI was found in 16 patients
(94%) and anterior pituitary hormonal deficiency (APHD) in 10 patients (59%); two patients had single (12%) and 8 (47%) multiple
APHD. During the follow-up period there was improvement of the initially demonstrated HPS pathology in seven (47%) patients,
and five (33%) of them had received at least one form of treatment. APHD and DI persisted in all patients except in one in
whom established gonadotrophin deficiency recovered. In summary, DI and APHD are very common in patients with multisystem
LCH and are almost always associated with abnormal HPS imaging. 相似文献

Though magnetic resonance (MRI) is a widely accepted standard for the assessment of patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, efforts to correlate symptoms to MRI findings have often given controversial results. Aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between TMJ pain and findings of contrast-enhanced MRI. Thirty-eight consecutive patients with TMJ dysfunction syndrome (study group) were examined with MRI. Protocol included T2 turbo spin-echo sequence, T1 spin-echo sequence, and T2 gradient-echo (acquired with closed jaw, at intermediate and maximal opening). Post-contrast phase was obtained through a fat sat 3D T1 gradient-echo sequence (VIBE). Post-contrast findings in the study group were matched with those obtained in a control group of 33 patients submitted to MRI of the paranasal sinuses. Statistically significant difference was found between condylar medullary bone enhancement in painful TMJ, in painless TMJ and control group. In addition the average thickness of joint soft tissue enhancement in painful TMJ was superior to painless TMJ (p<0.0001) and to control group. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio that a painful TMJ showed disk displacement, osteoarthrosis, effusion and JST enhancement were 3.05, 3.18, 1.2 and 11.36, respectively. Though not histologically proven, TMJ enhancement could reflect the presence of inflammation in painful joints. Furthermore, the administration of contrast could be of help for the assessment of patients with orofacial pain, particularly when clinical exploration is insufficient to ascribe the pain to TMJ. 相似文献

Adenomas causing acromegaly represent at least a quarter of pituitary adenomas. We studied 12 patients presenting with active
acromegaly due to a pituitary adenoma with a 1.5 T superconductive MRI unit. All had T1-weighted sagittal and coronal sections
before and after Gd-DTPA; six had coronal T2-weighted images. Surgical correlation was obtained in seven patients. Histologically,
there were eight growth hormone (GH)-secreting and three mixed [GH and prolactin (PRL) secreting] adenomas, and one secreting
GH, PRL and follicle-stimulating hormone. Macroadenomas (10) were more frequent than microadenomas (2). No correlation was
found between serum GH and tumour size. There were nine adenomas in the lateral part of the pituitary gland; seven showed
lateral or infrasellar invasion. Homogeneous, isointense signal on T1- and T2-weighted images was observed in six cases. Heterogeneous
adenomas had cystic or necrotic components.

A FLASH technique was used, which encompassed the entire thorax in the transverse plane, before and after dynamic intravenous injection of godalinium DTPA (Gd-DTPA) to study 7 patients with normal lungs, 12 patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), and 11 patients with pulmonary nodules. Comparative CT studies were obtained within 2 weeks of the MRI study in the patients with lung disease. Quantitative signal intensity (SI) measurements were performed. Qualitative evaluation of lung parenchyma was determined in a prospective blinded fashion, and in the normal group comparison was made with the CT images. In normal patients, SI of lung parenchyma increased by 7.7 ± 1.3%. On precontrast images, second-order pulmonary branchings were visible while post-contrast, fifth-to sixth-order branches were apparent. In patients with ILD, interstitial changes enhanced to a variable ] substantial (308.4%). Detection of pulmonary nodules improved following contrast injection. The minimum lesion size detectable decreased from 8 mm precontrast to 5 mm post-contrast. Percentage contrast enhancement was greater for malignant nodules (124.2 ±79.7%) than benign nodules (5.8 ± 4.7%)(p<0.01).Society of North America, 1–6 December 1991, Chicago
