CLINICAL QUIZ: Pituitary and Neuroendocrine Case Questions

Neuroendocrine Case 3

26 years healthy transgender male without any medical history came to see you for cross-sex hormone therapy.

Neuroendocrine Case 2

A 45-year-old man who underwent transsphenoidal resection of a clinically non-functioning pituitary macroadenoma 6 months ago returns for endocrine follow-up. He says that his stamina and overall well-being have diminished since he underwent pituitary surgery. He has gained 10 lb postoperatively. He reports no headache, visual symptoms, nausea, constipation, dizziness, polyuria, low libido, erectile dysfunction, edema. His past medical history is otherwise significant for gastro-esophageal reflux disease but no diabetes mellitus or malignancy.

Neuroendocrine Case 1

James is 5 years old and has had worsening headaches for several weeks. He awakens with repeated vomiting. His parents rush him to the emergency room where he has a generalized seizure. A computerized tomography (CT) scan shows a posterior fossa tumor and hydrocephalus. He is admitted to the hospital and an emergency ventriculoperitoneal shunt is placed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirms a likely medulloblastoma. In discussion with oncology, parents ask about future effects of treatment for the tumor.
