Overview
There are various types of lesion that can lead to adiposogenital dystrophy, most of which result from an injury of a part of the arcuate nucleus and ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus. Deep brain stimulation has also been seen to produce similar symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Causes
- The most common cause of adiposogenital dystrophy are tumors affecting the hypothalamus or pituitary. In children, the most common tumor that would cause [[adiposogenital dystrophy is a craniopharyngioma, a tumor arising from the Ratke's pouch.
- Inflammation due to infections such as tuberculosis, and encephalitis [1] [2]
- Deep brain stimulation [5] [6]. Some patients were observed to have an increase in weight of up to 20kg[7].
- Other causes of adiposogenital dystrophy include Friedreich ataxia, demyelinating diseases, and microcephaly[8]
