Overview
The pituitary gland is an endocrine organ in the skull that secretes various hormones and controls the function of the human body.Growth hormone deficiency hypotenosis (pituitary dwarfism) is a disease that causes growth disorders due to decreased secretion of growth hormone secreted from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.One-third of acquired tumors (cranopharyngeal tumors) and two-thirds are idiopathic.In addition, there are cases of impaired secretion of only growth hormones and cases of impaired secretion of hormones other than growth hormones.When secretions other than growth hormones are also impaired, sexual development is often affected.It is a 3:1 disease common in boys, and if diagnosed and treated early, you can gain a lot of height. cause
It occurs when the secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary gland decreases or is lacking.One-third of acquired tumors (cranopharyngeal tumors) and two-thirds are idiopathic.In the case of idiopathic childbirth, there are many abnormalities during childbirth, such as pelvic position (reversal) childbirth, and it is thought that childbirth is involved.In some cases, MRI examinations showed cleavage in the pituitary stem (the connection between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland), which is thought to have been caused by deformation of the head in the perinatal tract.symptom
In the case of idiopathic symptoms, the height at birth is average, but the growth has been delayed since infancy, and the difference from the average height increases year by year.In the case of acquired disease, a child who was growing normally does not grow taller when a disease develops.All of them are well-built, but they do not grow taller, and their bone development is delayed and their bone age does not rise easily.In addition, when a hormone other than the growth hormone is associated with a secretion disorder, symptoms that can be seen when the hormone is missing occur simultaneously.For example, when gonadohormones are impaired, their body shape remains young, and boys do not have a voice change or ejaculation, and girls do not have menstruation.In addition, if the secretion of hormones, which can increase blood sugar in response to stress, decreases, it can lead to hypoglycemia and decrease consciousness.examination and diagnosis
Height measurement is performed to confirm a difference from the average height of the same age.Accurate growth of parents is also important as information.If a height graph is recorded at school or at home, check the progress of height growth by using it.In addition, X-rays of the wrist are used to check the age of the bone, a hormone secretion stimulation test (checking how much growth hormone is secreted in the body) and an MRI and CT examination are used to diagnose the pituitary gland and its surroundings.In addition, chromosome tests, electroencephalography, and head X-ray tests will be conducted to confirm whether or not he is short due to other factors.treatment
A hypodermic injection of pituitary hormone preparation (growth hormone preparation) prepared by a genetic engineering method is performed at home six to seven times a week to replenish growth hormones.This can be handled by parents or by themselves.In addition, there are also cases in which deficient hormones are supplemented at the same time.It is said that it is desirable to start the treatment when the bone age is 10 years or younger, and it is said that it will not be effective after that.Each year, they apply for a treatment effect determination and continue treatment while the effect lasts.precautions after prevention/treatment
For short children, it is important to measure their height and observe their growth rate.By regularly hitting the height as dots on the graph and grasping the height curve, it is easy to grasp the growth rate compared to other children.If you feel that you are unusually short or have a lower growth rate than other children, you should take the test early.Both parents tend not to worry about their children′s short stature when they are not tall, but if they are worried about their short stature, it is important to take a growth hormone test as early as possible until the lower grades of elementary school.
