Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a morphological change of the frontal bone like a single or multiple bilateral nodules on the inner lamina, characteristically sparing the diploë and the midline calvaria.Case presentation: We present a 61-y...

Objective: Thyrotoxicosis have received wide attention from researchers over the last century as it an important cause of secondary osteoporosis. Most of the cases present mild osteoporosis.Design: We present the case of a old women (77 years) with no thyroid disease in medical history, only with stable hypertension and artrosis. She was sent to endocrine exam by the oncologyst because she started to have intense lumbal painand the MRI describe osteoliti...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) represent a group of diseases in steroid biosynthesis, due to an enzyme lack in the transformation of cholesterol to cortisol. Women with menstrual dysfunction responds well to adrenocortical inhibition with prednisone, and the significant improvement of menstrual regularity is frequently noted. We report a case of successful pregnancy in a patient with CAH for the first time.Case presentation: A 35-year...

Introduction: Carcinoma showing thymus-like differentiation (CASTLE) is a rare, low-grade thyroid carcinoma, with indolent clinical course and usually a favorable prognosis. The clinical and imagistic features are not specific for CASTLE but similar to other malignant lesions of the thyroid, making diagnosis difficult and reliant on immunohistochemical examination. The conclusive diagnosis requires pathological examination and positive cluster of differentiation 5 (CD5) immuno...

BackgroundPosterior pituitary ectopia is a rare congenital condition that consists of the abnormal position of the distinctly hyperintense signal suggestive of the posterior pituitary gland on magnetic resonance imaging. The classical features include the ectopic location of the posterior pituitary gland, pituitary stalk abnormalities and associated clinical manifestations related to isolated growth hormone deficiency. In rare cases, some patients suffer...

Material-Method: We registered from February 26, 2020 until January 23, 2022 (almost 2 years) patients with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis Hashimoto. Usual parameters for this disease were investigated: age, sex, ATPO, FT4, TSH, ultrasound pattern, antibody evolution, immune associations, lost pregnancies, other clinical associations (alergies, breast cancer). Patients were divided into 2 groups: those who had covid-19 (C-19) vs. those who did not have viral disease (<u...

Introduction: The coexistence of thyroid nodules and autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) has been widely reported. The aim of our study was to retrospectively evaluate the incidence of thyroid nodules associated with autoimmune thyroiditis. Sibiu county is a well known mild iodine deficiency area from Romania.Material and methods: We retrospectively analysed data from 600 patients (25–79 years) with autoimmune thyroiditis in University County Hospital ...

AimWe appreciate the effect of testosterone undecanoat 1000 mg intramuscular injection (NebidoR; Bayer) on both prostatic volume (see Peretianu, this congress) and PSA (this study) in hypogonadic patients after up to 13 years.Material and methodA. PSA (ng/ml) was done in Bucharest accredited laboratories, appreciated at 1 year. B. Prostatic volume (PV): ultrasound,...

Aim: To show that height loss is more correlated with vetebral micoarchitecture than with Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Material and Method: A. DEXA: made with a GE-Lunar Prodigy Pro # 500074. Vertebral microarchitecture was investigated by Trabecular Bone Score (TBS). TBS software: TBS iNsight®, version 3.0.2.0.B. Patients. 902 patients, 844 (93.6%) women, 58 men. Only 42 under 50 years.
