Hypopituitarism is commonly seen after sellar surgery for pituitary adenoma. Hypocortisolism and diabetes insipidus can be a part of hypopituitarism. Rarely, diabetes insipidus can be unmasked on initiating treatment for hypocortisolism. A 62-year-old female with a history of trans-sphenoidal decompression surgery 9 years ago for non-functioning pituitary adenoma, was diagnosed to have developed panhypopituitarism on the present evaluation. The patient was started on prednisolone replacement, following which central diabetes insipidus was unmasked after 7 days. Thus, hypopituitarism may develop gradually over years after trans-sphenoidal surgery, and the patient may not manifest symptoms of hormone deficiencies. Diabetes insipidus may be masked by adrenal insufficiency, and the same can manifest after the initiation of glucocorticoid therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
