� Facial aspect of a patient with acromegaly.
The cheekbones are obvious, the foreheadbulges, the jaw is enlarged and facial linesprominent. The forehead and overlying skinis thickened, which may lead to frontalbossing.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acromegaly-paed 11/38
February 12. 201102:15:45 am 11
Causes� Pituitary adenoma - the overproduction of
growth hormones is caused by a benign
tumor of the pituitary gland.
� Other tumors - acromegaly is caused notby pituitary tumors but by tumors of thepancreas, lungs, and adrenal glands.

February 12. 201102:15:45 am 12
Causes� Pituitary gigantism - This condition of
growth hormone excess is rare in children
and is referred to as pituitary gigantism,because the excessive growth hormoneproduces excessive growth of bones andthe child can achieve excessive height;
from 2.1 to 2.7 m (6'11" to 8'11") instature by adulthood if left untreated.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acromegaly-paed 13/38
February 12. 201102:15:45 am 13
Pathophysiology
Increased GHRH fromhypothalamus.
Hypothalamus Willstimulate pituitary torelease GH
GH act to release IGF-1 from
Liver that helps on growth anddevelopment.
If decrease canlead tohyperplasia ofchondrocytesand it will
differentiateinto bones andalso to othertissue
Will lead to
hyperplasia andhypertrophy

� Soft tissue swelling of internalorgans, notably the heart with
attendant weakening of itsmuscularity, and the kidneys, also thevocal cords resulting in a
characteristic thick, deep voice andslowing of speech

Common Complication� Severe headache
� Enlarged heart� Hypertension� DM� Heart Failure� Kidney failure
� Compression of the optic chiasm leading to loss ofvision in the outer visual fields (typically bitemporalhemianopia)
� Increased palmar sweating and sebum productionover the face (seborrhea) are clinical indicators of
active growth hormone (GH) producing pituitarytumors. These symptoms can also be used to monitorthe activity of the tumor after surgery althoughbiochemical monitoring is confirmatory.

Diagnostic Tests� Medical imaging
� Medical laboratory
� CT scan - of pituitary or otherorgans, seeking the tumor
� GHRH blood test - useful to detect
non-pituitary tumors

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/acromegaly-paed 21/38
February 12. 201102:15:45 am 21
Diagnostic Tests� Other pituitary hormones have to be
assessed to address the secretory effects
of the tumor as well as the mass effect ofthe tumor on the normal pituitary gland.They include TSH .
� IGF1 provides the most sensitive and
useful lab test for the diagnosis ofacromegaly.

� Oral glucose tolerance test

Managements� Medical Managements
� bromocriptine (Parlodel®).
(uses to reduce both GH secretion andtumor size. )
� octreotide (Sandostatin®).
is a synthetic form of a brain hormone,somatostatin, that stops GH production.

Surgical
� Endonasal Transphenoidal surgery - reaching thepituitary through an incision in the nasal cavitywall. The wall is reached by passing through thenostrils with microsurgical instruments.
� Transphenoidal surgery - during which an incisionis made into the gum beneath the upper lip.Further incisions are made to cut through theseptum to reach the nasal cavity, where the
pituitary is located.
