Veysel Nijat Baş, Salih Uytun, Ümit Erkan Vurdem, Yasemin Altuner Torun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2015;58(7):270-273.   Published online July 22, 2015

Legg-Calve-Perthes (LCP) disease is characterized by idiopathic avascular osteonecrosis of the epiphysis of the femur head. The main factor that plays a role in the etiology of the disease is decreased blood flow to the epiphysis. Many predisposing factors have been suggested in the etiology of LCP disease, and most have varying degrees of effects. Here we present the case...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(10):892-897.   Published online October 31, 2010
Purpose

This study evaluated the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and risk factors for metabolic derangement in young adults with childhood-onset hypopituitary growth hormone deficiency (ACOHGHD).

Methods

Thirty patients with ACOHGHD who were treated with hormone-replacement therapy, aged 18 to 29 years, who visited the Seoul National University Children's Hospital between September 2009 and February 2010 were enrolled. Height, weight, waist circumference,...

Case Report
A case of hepatopulmonary syndrome in a child with fatty liver disease secondary to hypopituitarism after craniopharyngioma resection
Sun Ju Im, Hyun Seok Park, Hyoung Doo Lee, Jae Hong Park, Hee Ju Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(8):794-798.   Published online August 15, 2007
Hepatopulmonary syndrome is a triad that includes: hepatic dysfunction, intrapulmonary vascular dilatation and abnormal arterial oxygenation. The incidence of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations, in adults with end-stage liver disease, has been reported to be 13% to 47%, however the incidence in children is unclear and the cases in Korean children have never been reported. The hepatopulmonary syndrome may occur as a...

A Case of Congenital Hypopituitarism Presenting Ectopic Pituitary Gland and Pituitary Stalk Transection Identified by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Do Seong Kim, Kyung Eun Oh, Duk Hi Kim, Myung Joon Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(6):809-815.   Published online June 15, 1992
The syndrome of congenital hypopitutarism is a rare but well recognized entity. The typical clinical picture consists of presentation in infanncy with hypoglycemia, microgenitalia, and evidence of multiple anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies, but not diabetes inspidus. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging has disclosed a consistent abnormality in many patients with congenital hypopituitarism as well as idiopathic hypopituitarism characterized by an adenohypophysis...

Transsphenoidal meningoencephalocele is congenital defects in the sphenoid bone through which meninges and brain tissue have herniated; the defect, located in the midline of the base of the skull, was first reported by Richter in 1813. The nine cases of transsphenoidal meningoencephalocele have been reported. Patients with transsphenoidal meningoencephalocele also may have other midline craniocerebral and midfacial anomalies, including additional meningoencephalocele hypertelorism, cleft palate, and abnormalities...
Pituitary Function on Patients with Sellar and Suprasellar Tumor.
Sei Won Yang, Hyung Ro Moon, Byung Kyu Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(4):491-498.   Published online April 30, 1990
We observed the status of pituitary hormones (growth hormone, TSH, ACTH, gonadotropin and ADH) in the patients with intrasellar and suprasellar tumors (Table 1 and 2) before and after treatment of tumors. They were estimated from the results of various provocative tests to the pituitary hormones after confimation of normal thyroid function. The results were as belows (Table 3 and 4): 1) Most patients with craniopharyngioma...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(5):597-606.   Published online May 31, 1988
34 patients with growth hormone (GH) deficiency were studied. The affected males outnumber females in a proportion of 1.8 to 1. The chronological ages on diagnosis was average 9.4 years old and bone age was delayed with average 6.6 years old. The major cause of GH deficiency was idiopathic and organic causes such as craniopharyngioma, germinoma & Tb. meningitis were relatively uncommon. Cerebral anoxia seemed...
