Hypothalamic hypopituitarism after hemiparesis.

Anterior pituitary insufficiency developed over 15 years in a man who had had a sudden episode of left hemiparesis and slurred speech at the age of 45 years. At age 60 radiographic studies revealed no evidence of a sellar or suprasellar neoplasm, and endocrinologic studies, including stimulation with thyrotropin releasing hormone and luteinizing hormone releasing hormone, yielded results consistent with hypopituitarism of hypothalamic origin. Response to thyroid, adrenocortical and testosterone therapy was good.

The effect of allopurinol on oxypurine excretion in xanthinuria.

In a patient with xanthine urolithiasis secondary to hereditary xanthinuria (xanthine oxidase deficiency), allopurinol administration resulted in a 20 per cent increase in oxypurine excretion and an elevation of the urinary xanthine/hypoxanthine ratio from 4.08 to 6.53. The rise in this ratio suggests that residual xanthine oxidase activity may have been present. It is possible that the excessive re-utilization of hypoxanthine and xanthine in this disease prevents the allopurinol-induced inhibition of de novo purine biosynthesis that is seen in normal subjects.

The co-existence of primary hyperparathyroidism and osteogenesis imperfecta.

A 47-year-old patient suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta was found to have mild hypercalcemia. The latter proved to be due to a parathyroid adenoma. The clinical and laboratory features of this association are summarized, and the implications of serum calcium abnormalities in osteogenesis imperfecta are discussed.
