Overview
A positive history of head trauma or any mass adenoma) or a lesion ( such as a sellar lesion) or any symptom related to pituitary hormonal deficiency is suggestive of hypopituitarism. Patients of hypopituitarism may be asymptomatic or show symptoms which can be nonspecific or specific for the deficient hormone. Patients with acute onset of hypopituitarism can present with headache, nausea, vomiting, visual impairment, fatigue, cold intolerance, hypotension and dizziness. Patients with chronic hypopituitarism can present with pallor, weight loss and anorexia.
History
A positive history of head trauma or any mass (adenoma) or a lesion ( such as a sellar lesion) or any symptom related to pituitary hormonal deficiency is suggestive of hypopituitarism.
Symptoms
Patients of hypopituitarism may be asymptomatic or show symptoms which can be nonspecific or specific for the deficient hormone.[1]
Non-specific symptoms
Patients of hypopituitarism may present with the following symptoms:
Acute hypopituitarism | Chronic hypopituitarism |
---|---|
|
Symptoms of deficient hormones
In hypopituitarism, either one of the pituitary gland hormones is decreased or the whole hormones are decreased in case of panhypopituitarism. In this table, each hormone deficiency symptoms are listed.[2]
Pituitary gland | Hormone | Symptoms of deficiency |
---|---|---|
Anterior pituitary | Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH) | The most critical hormonal deficient in hypopituitarism.[3][4] |
Growth Hormone (GH) |
| |
Gonadotropin hormones: | In men:
In women:[6] | |
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) |
| |
Prolactin |
| |
Posterior pituitary | Oxytocin | |
Anti Diuretic Hormone (ADH) |
