A case of hypothalamic sarcoidosis with hypopituitarism and prolonged remission of hypogonadism

N Hidaka et al. Am J Med Sci. 1987 Nov.

Abstract

A 21-year-old man developed hypopituitarism, with symptomatic hypogonadism and diabetes insipidus (DI), as well as uveitis, retinal vasculitis, and papilledema in association with systemic sarcoidosis. A suprasellar tumor was demonstrated by computed tomography (CT). Although ophthalmic symptoms disappeared with prednisone and the DI was controlled with Desmopressin (DDAVP), the hypogonadism did not improve with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). In long-term follow-up, the hypogonadism unexpectedly resolved.
