[Phaeochromocytoma with hypokalaemia (two cases) (author's transl)].

Two cases of phaeochromocytoma with hypokalaemia are reported. In the first, a carcinoma, hypokalaemia was potentially secondary to hyperreninaemia and hyperaldosteronism in association with probably paraneoplastic hypercorticism. The other was benign and the origin of isotopically demonstrated potassium deficiency was less clear, because hyperreninaemia, hyperaldosteronism and hypercortisolism were moderate.

[Acute pituitary failure as the presentation of a prolactin cell adenoma during a pregnancy made possible by bromocriptine (author's transl)].

A 21-year-old woman had sterility due to amenorrhoea-galactorrhoea with hyperprolactinaemia and hypoplastic ovaries. The sella turcica was asymmetrical but tomograms were suggestive of a congenital appearance. There was no suprasellar expansion. Treatment with bromocriptine and HMG resulted in pregnancy. Acute pituitary failure occurred at the 10th week, revealing an adenoma. The pregnancy proceeded to term after hypophysectomy. This complication, the first reported under the effects of bromocriptine, may serve as a reminder of the precautions to be taken during pregnancy in a hyperprolactinaemic woman.
