Insufficiency2
- Hypopituitarism is a partial or complete insufficiency of pituitary hormone secretion that may derive from pituitary or hypothalamic disease. (medscape.com)

Deficiency3
- Hypopituitarism refers to either partial or complete deficiency of the an-terior and/or posterior pituitary function. (brainkart.com)

Tumor3
- for instance, if the hypopituitarism is due to a growth hormone-producing tumor, there may be symptoms of acromegaly (enlargement of the hands and feet, coarse facial features), and if the tumor extends to the optic nerve or optic chiasm, there may be visual field defects. (wikipedia.org)
- If hypopituitarism is caused by a tumor, you may need surgery to remove the tumor. (medlineplus.gov)

Difference Between Panhypopituitarism1
- Question: What is the difference between panhypopituitarism vs. hypopituitarism? (csrf.net)
Panhypopituitarism1
- Hypopituitarism, also known as panhypopituitarism , is a complex syndrome marked by metabolic dysfunction, sexual immaturity, and growth retardation (when it occurs in childhood). (doctorlib.info)
Hormones5
- Hypopituitarism is the decreased (hypo) secretion of one or more of the eight hormones normally produced by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. (wikipedia.org)
- The signs and symptoms of hypopituitarism vary, depending on which hormones are undersecreted and on the underlying cause of the abnormality. (wikipedia.org)
- The hormones of the pituitary have different actions in the body, and the symptoms of hypopituitarism therefore depend on which hormone is deficient. (wikipedia.org)
- Hypopituitarism is a condition in which the pituitary gland does not produce normal amounts of some or all of its hormones. (medlineplus.gov)
- In hypopituitarism, there is a lack of one or more pituitary hormones. (medlineplus.gov)
Hypothalamus1
- Septo-optic dysplasia is often associated with abnormalities of the HYPOTHALAMUS and other diencephalic structures, and HYPOPITUITARISM. (bvsalud.org)
Pituitary function1
- Hypopituitarism may be congen-ital or acquired, secondary to pituitary disease or to hypothalamic pathol-ogy that interferes with pituitary function. (brainkart.com)
Symptoms2
- What are the symptoms of hypopituitarism? (msdmanuals.com)
- The signs and symptoms will vary accordingly although majority of the different pituitary cell types as described under pituitary gland function has to be destroyed or malfunctioning for hypopituitarism to ensue. (healthhype.com)
Secondary1
- Several hormone deficiencies associated with hypopituitarism may lead to secondary diseases. (wikipedia.org)
Deficiencies2
- The clinical presentation of hypopituitarism may vary, depending on patient age and on the specific hormone deficiencies, which may occur singly or in various combinations. (medscape.com)
- Patients with hypopituitarism have complex endocrine deficiencies, and the mechanisms underpinning any excess mortality are unknown. (ox.ac.uk)
Disorders1
- Patients with hypopituitarism have an increased mortality rate mostly related to cardiovascular disorders. (pituitaryworldnews.org)
Traumatic3
- Hypopituitarism is a rare disease, but may be significantly underdiagnosed in people with previous traumatic brain injury. (wikipedia.org)
- Traumatic hypopituitarism was diagnosed in an 11-month-old male neutered cat. (avmi.net)
- This is a higher frequency than previously thought and suggests that most cases of post traumatic hypopituitarism (PTHP) remain undiagnosed and untreated. (textbookrush.com)
Mortality6
- The aim of the present study was to assess whether patients with hypopituitarism experience increased cardiovascular, in particular cerebrovascular, mortality. (lu.se)
- DESIGN AND PATIENTS: Retrospective cohort study of mortality, 1952-1992, in 344 patients, of whom 130 were female, receiving conventional hormone replacement for hypopituitarism following neurosurgery for pituitary tumours. (lu.se)
- Association between premature mortality and hypopituitarism. (ox.ac.uk)
- BACKGROUND: Four retrospective studies have reported premature mortality in patients with hypopituitarism with standard mortality ratios (SMRs) varying between 1.20 and 2.17. (ox.ac.uk)
- We aimed to clarify these issues by doing a large prospective study of total and specific-cause mortality in patients with hypopituitarism. (ox.ac.uk)
- INTERPRETATION: Patients with hypopituitarism have excess mortality, predominantly from vascular and respiratory disease. (ox.ac.uk)

19921
- METHODS: We followed up 1014 UK patients (514 men, 500 women) with hypopituitarism from January, 1992, to January, 2000. (ox.ac.uk)
Tumors1
- The diagnosis of hypopituitarism is made by blood tests, but often specific scans and other investigations are needed to find the underlying cause, such as tumors of the pituitary, and the ideal treatment. (wikipedia.org)
Patients1
- OBJECTIVE: An increased prevalence of atherosclerosis has been shown among patients with hypopituitarism. (lu.se)
Secretion1
- If there is decreased secretion of one specific pituitary hormone, the condition is known as selective hypopituitarism. (wikipedia.org)
Gland2
- To diagnose hypopituitarism, there must be low hormone levels due to a problem with the pituitary gland. (medlineplus.gov)
- Hypopituitarism is usually a result of destruction of the entire or portion of the pituitary gland. (healthhype.com)
Severe2
- Hypopituitarism is also a rare complication caused by severe bleeding during pregnancy. (medlineplus.gov)
