Abstract

A 48-year old engineer presented with progressive decline in sports performance. A history of latent hypothyroidism was known since 3 years. Adrenocortical insufficiency was suggested and confirmed by further investigations. Because of additional autoimmune thyroiditis and family history with autoimmune diabetes of the son, the diagnosis polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type II was made.

[Pregnancy associated osteoporosis].

A case of pregnancy associated osteoporosis in a 26 year-old woman's first pregnancy is described. Four months after delivery of a normal boy, the patient presented with back pain and fractures of the thoracic spine (Th 6, 7 and 9). The patient was treated with calcium and vitamin D. After three years the bone density was within normal range and had increased by 19.1% in the hip and 15.8% in the spine, respectively. Bone biopsy and extensive biochemical examinations including collagen analysis could not find any explanation for the observed fractures other than pregnancy.
