GYN: pituitary removal due to craniopharyngiomaFrom: Garry Siegel (garrys@mindspring.com)Thu Apr 26 20:46:44 2001
A patient in for her annual told me that her 9 YO daughter had surgery for a craniopharyngioma, and that her pituitary was removed. The child is doing well on replacement that includes cortisone, thyroid, and DDAVP, which is for ADH replacement. Later, growth hormone will be added. I'm heading to the books, and thinking hard about this one, but would appreciate anyone's thoughts about puberty, hormonal replacement vs. FSH/LH, ovulation induction and fertility later in life, etc. Garry
