A 66-year-old man with a headache in the left temporal region which had persisted for eight months is presented. The patient developed polydipsia and polyuria and also suffered from tinnitus, impaired hearing and episodes of double vision. The patient was diagnosed with autoimmune hypophysitis (AH) in 2007. This case story displays the importance of knowing AH, as it is an important differential diagnosis to pituitary gland adenomas and to diseases in the hypothalamus because it can be treated medically as opposed to surgically.
本文介绍了一位66岁男性患者，其左侧颞部头痛持续了8个月。患者出现了烦渴、多尿症状，还伴有耳鸣、听力减退和复视发作。该患者于2007年被诊断为自身免疫性垂体炎（AH）。这个病例说明了了解AH的重要性，因为它是垂体腺瘤和下丘脑疾病的重要鉴别诊断，因为它可以通过药物治疗而非手术治疗。
