Abstract

ACROMEGALY - A CASE REPORT

C. V. Viswanth*, Balaji Viswanatha Setty, Priyanka, Nagesh and K. V. Giriraja

ABSTRACT

GH hypersecretion is usually the result of a somatotrope adenoma but may rarely be caused by extrapitutary lesions. Protean manifestations of GH and IGF-1 hypersecretion are indolent and often are not clinically diagnosed for 10 years or more. This report details the case of a patient with an undiagnosed case of acromegaly in a 67-year-old woman, K/C/O Systemic hypertension who had complained of lower back pain, neck pain and bilateral knee pain over the course of several months. This patient was referred for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of brain which revealed changes suggestive of pituitary adenoma. The patient was referred to neurosurgery for endoscopic excision of adenoma.

Keywords: Acromegaly, Pitutary Adenoma, Endoscopic Excision.
