Abstract

Background Hypopituitarism is a rare but well-known complication of cranial trauma. In the absence of overt diabetes insipidus, its recognition is difficult as the onset of clinical symptoms can be very progressive, up to several years.Case reports Three children, aged 8, 9 and 2 years, respectively, were admitted after a cranial trauma. Manifestations of diabetes insipidus occurred a few days later in two patients; one of them developed secondary growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism and hypogonadism, only evidenced at the age of 14 years. The third patient also developed manifestations of hypothalamic and/or pituitary hormone deficiencies without diabetes insipidus at the age of 12 years-6 months. MRI showed complete severance of the pituitary stalk in two patients and absence of posterior pituitary signal in one of the two patients with diabetes insipidus.Conclusion Growth disorders and/or hypogonadism may occur many years after a trauma that may have been forgetten. Search for such an etiology and dynamic MRI are necessary in identifying heterogenous hypophyseal lesions.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In one of Mariani et al.'s patients, DI was an isolated defect, whereas in the other it was accompanied by multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies, including growth hormone, thyroid, and gonadal insufficiencies.

    “In one patient, DI was an isolated defect, whereas in the other it was accompanied by multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies, including growth hormone, thyroid, and gonadal insufficiencies [66].”

  • Mariani et al. reported three cases of post-traumatic hypopituitarism in children, two of whom developed DI within days of the injury.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
