[Post-partum autoimmune thyroiditis in a patient presenting with Sheehan's syndrome].

A 30-year-old women developed post-partum thyroiditis associated with post- partum pituitary infarction. Pituitary stimulation tests demonstrated global pituitary deficiency but there was no thyrotropin response to TRH stimulation and free T4 was normal. Associated goiter and high circulating levels of microsomal antibodies led to the diagnosis of post-partum thyroiditis associated with pituitary deficiency. Two cases of this unusual association have been reported. The underlying pathogenesis might involve post-partum immunological rebound and/or hypocorticism-induced immunological disorders.

[Thyroid pseudo-nodules: 3 case reports].

The thyroïd pseudo-nodules constitute cervical lesions that can simulating neoplastic thyroid lesions either by their size or by their "cold" character in scintigraphy. We describe 3 cases of thyroïd pseudo-nodules collected in 10 years: a thyroid hydatid cyst, a schwannoma of the recurrent nerve and a thyroglossal duct cyst. Throw these observations, the authors discuss the problems of differential diagnosis set out with these pseudo-nodules. Although the diagnosis in the 3 cases, was histological after post operative exam, the authors insist throw a review of the literature, on the place of fine needle aspiration cytology in the therapeutic strategy that can show specific signs for some lesions. For the other cases, surgery resection is effected to eliminate malignant lesions who are the principal differential diagnosis of thyroid pseudo-nodules.

Primary amenorrhea-galactorrhea with hyperprolactinemia and huge pituitary enlargement in juvenile primary hypothyroidism.

We report a girl with juvenile primary hypothyroidism revealed by growth retardation and a syndrome of primary amenorrhea-galactorrhea with hyperprolactinemia and suprasellar pituitary enlargement. Resolution of the pituitary enlargement and the amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome occurred after thyroid hormone replacement. No similar observation has been reported earlier in juvenile hypothyroidism.
